Question
As a part of an industrial training program, some trainees are instructed by Method A, which is
straight teaching-machine instruction, and some are instructed by Method B, which also involves
the personal attention of an instructor. Random samples of size 10 are taken from large groups
of trainees instructed by each of these two methods, and the scores they obtained in an
appropriate achievement test are shown in Table 5. Use 0.05 level of significance to test the claim
that Method B is more effective. Assume that the populations sampled can be approximated
closely with
Method A | 71 | 75 | 65 | 69 | 73 | 66 | 68 | 71 | 74 | 68 | |
Method B | 72 | 77 | 84 | 78 | 69 | 70 | 77 | 73 | 65 | 75 |

A study compared the effectiveness of three acne treatments and a placebo, all in gel form, applied twice daily for 12 weeks. The study's 517 teenage volunteers were randomly assigned to one of the four treatments. Success was assessed as clear or almost clear skin at the end of the 12 week period. The results of the study can be seen in the table below. Using the appropriate statistical test, determine if there is significant evidence that the four treatments perform differently. If so, how do they compare.arrow_forward
