Hi,
Note: 6 students
Using the Excel Data Analysis Tool:
Before: 40 38 45 18 25 41 || m = 34.5 and SD = 10.56
After: 48 40 45 42 45 60 || m = 46.7 and SD = 7.09
t =
degrees of Freedom = (6+6)-2= 10 ... t = 2.3495, 5% significance level...
(Using t-test Table or t-test Calculator)
YES,we can conclude that there is significant improvement in marks after special classes.
