Question

An article reported the results of a peer tutoring program to help children learn to read. In the experiment, the children were randomly divided into two groups: the experimental group received peer tutoring along with regular instruction, and the control group received regular instruction with no peer tutoring. There were n1 = n2 = 30 children in each group. The Gates-MacGintie Reading Test was given to both groups before instruction began. For the experimental group, the mean score on the vocabulary portion of the test was x1 = 344.5, with sample standard deviation s1 = 49.5. For the control group, the mean score on the same test was x2 = 353.8, with sample standard deviation s2 = 50.9. Use a 5% level of significance to test the hypothesis that there was no difference in the vocabulary scores of the two groups before the instruction began.

 

What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Test the difference μ1 − μ2. Round your answer to three decimal places.)
