A school had a lot of problems with
student absences and wanted to try a
intervention program to see if it
encouraged students to come to school
more often. As a trial, 20 students were
split into two equal size groups. Group 1
would get the new intervention and
Group 2 got no intervention. The mean-
number of absences was calculated after
one month for each group, as shown in
the table below. What inference can be
made about the results?
