- Detailed Answer plzzarrow_forwardA group of researchers conducted a study to investigate the effectiveness of a new teaching method for a particular subject. They randomly assigned 100 students to two groups: one group received the new teaching method, and the other group received the traditional teaching method. At the end of the semester, they measured the students' performance on a standardized test. The researchers found that the mean score for the group that received the new teaching method was higher than the mean score for the group that received the traditional teaching method. How can the researchers test the hypothesis that the new teaching method is more effective than the traditional teaching method? What statistical test should they use?arrow_forwardQuestion varrow_forward
