Subclaims¶

q2 i? Posttest means of the experimental group (13.43) and control group (13.22) did not differ significantly (P = 0.686), indicating similar improvement under the two teaching ways. → Wang 2010

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Independent-samples T-test comparing posttest scores of the control group (mean 13.22, N=51) and experimental group (mean 13.43, N=51), T = 0.406, P = 0.686. The article concludes "students made the same improvement in developing their listening comprehension".

"The P value as shown in Table 4.2.2 reached 0.686, which is much high than 0.05. Thus we reach the conclusion that students made the same improvement in developing their listening comprehension."
