Last fall, a sample n=36 freshmen was selected to participate in a new 4 hour training program designed to improved study skills. To evaluate the effectiveness of the program, the sample was compared with the rest of the freshmen class. All freshmen must take the same English Language Skills course, and the mean score on the final exam for the entire freshmen class was μ= 74. The students in the new program had a mean score of M= 79.4 with a standard deviation of s = 18
On the basis of these data, can the college conclude that the students in the new program performed significantly better than the rest of the freshmen class? Use a one tailed test with σ=.05.
