Two teaching methods and their effects on science test scores are being reviewed. A random sample of 1818 students, taught in traditional lab sessions, had a mean test score of 78.378.3 with a standard deviation of 6.46.4. A random sample of 1111 students, taught using interactive simulation software, had a mean test score of 84.384.3 with a standard deviation of 5.35.3. 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 μ1μ1 be the mean test score for the students taught in traditional lab sessions and μ2μ2 be the mean test score for students taught using interactive simulation software. Use a significance level of α=0.1α=0.1 for the test. Assume that the population variances are equal and that the two populations are normally distributed.
