Questions and Answers
A researcher aims to determine if a new teaching method improves student test scores. They collect data from a sample of students using the new method and compare it to a control group. Which statistical technique is most appropriate for this scenario?
A researcher aims to determine if a new teaching method improves student test scores. They collect data from a sample of students using the new method and compare it to a control group. Which statistical technique is most appropriate for this scenario?
- Descriptive statistics to summarize the sample data only.
- Probability distributions to model the likelihood of observing the specific test scores.
- Combinatorics to count the possible arrangements of student scores.
- Inferential statistics to make generalizations about the effectiveness of the new method on a larger population. (correct)
