Consider the following research hypothesis and the p-value obtained via a statistical test. Would this testing have involved one-sample or two-sample hypothesis testing? Does the scenario involved paired or independent samples? Assuming the appropriate testing was used, what would be an appropriate conclusion to draw given the reported results and p-value? Explain the reasoning for your answers.

Explain the reasoning for your answers.
The hypothesis is that students who are familiar with the Theory of Algorithms learn the programming language C++ faster than students who are not familiar with this theory. We have gathered data from 50 students who are familiar with the Theory of Algorithms (Group 1) and 40 students who are not familiar with the Theory of Algorithms (Group 2). Experiments showed students from Group 1 took a mean of 36.5 hours to complete the training course of C++, while students Group 2 the mean was 39.1 hours. The p-value was 0.04.
