A teacher wishes to test whether or not the case
method of teaching is more effective than the
traditional method. She picks two classes of
approximately equal intelligence (verified through an
administered IQ test). She gather a sample of 18
students to whom she uses the case the traditional
method. After the experimentation an objective test
revealed that the first sample got a mean score 28.6
with a standard deviation of 5.9, while the second
group got a mean score of 21.7 with a standard
deviation of 4.6. Based on the result of the
administered test, can we say that the case method is
