Question

24 students were randomly split up into two equally sized groups. Each member of the first group (group 1) used online math homework and each member of the second group (group 2) used paper math homework. Both groups were given the same test at the end of the year and the test results are shown in the table below.

Group 1	Group 2
100	71
67	88
100	75
100	73
71	61
83	57
58	68
74	78
100	66
65	46
79	68
76	67

Mean: 73.9	Mean: 75.3

Experimental Mean Difference: 12.9

Find the random mean difference:

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
