Question

Two teaching methods and their effects on science test scores are being reviewed. A random sample of 1919 students, taught in traditional lab sessions, had a mean test score of 73.973.9 with a standard deviation of 6.36.3. A random sample of 1212 students, taught using interactive simulation software, had a mean test score of 81.181.1 with a standard deviation of 33. Do these results support the claim that the mean science test score is lower for students taught in traditional lab sessions than it is for students taught using interactive simulation software? Let μ1�1 be the mean test score for the students taught in traditional lab sessions and μ2�2 be the mean test score for students taught using interactive simulation software. Use a significance level of α=0.05�=0.05 for the test. Assume that the population variances are equal and that the two populations are normally distributed.

Step 3 of 4 :

Determine the decision rule for rejecting the null hypothesis H0�0. Round your answer to three decimal places.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
