Mr. Jones and the New Worksheet
Mr. Jones wanted to check if there was an observable impact of a particular worksheet on his students’ test scores for Chapter 1. His idea was to test if there was a significant variation in the average test score of the class that used the worksheet in comparison to the class that did not. In the class before lunch, he used the worksheet but not the class after lunch. He has 23 students in each of the two classes. Their test scores are below:

e. Write a one to two sentence conclusion that correctly responds to the question. Use APA format to report your statistic ex. [(df)=1.1, p<.05]
1. A particular resource class must perform at a level consistent with the rest of the school to avoid being discontinued. On the first quarter statewide test, the mean score of the school was 84. The 14 students in the resource class had a 76.17 mean test score and a 17.52 standard deviation. The district informs the principal that the class should be discontinued because the average is below that of the rest of school. Is this reasonable or does the principal have evidence to support an argument against this decision?
