An instructor believes that students do not retain as much information from a lecture on a Friday compared to a Monday. To test this belief, the instructor teaches a small sample of college students some preselected material from a single topic on statistics on a Friday and on a Monday. All students received a test on the material. The differences in test scores for material taught on Friday minus Monday are listed in the following table.
Difference Scores (Friday − Monday) −1.7 +3.3 +4.3 +6.2 +1.1
(a) Find the confidence limits at a 95% CI for these related samples. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) to
(b) Can we conclude that students retained more of the material taught in the Friday class?
Yes, because 0 lies outside of the 95% CI. No, because 0 is contained within the 95% CI.
