Question
To compare the performance of students in private and public schools, samples of reading test scores were collected from two groups of students. In a sample of 106 private school students the sample mean was 282 with the standard deviation of 46 and a sample of 151 public school students, the sample mean was 265 with a standard deviation of 68.
a) at the 1% level of significance does it appear the scores are the same?
b) what is the P value?
