1. Suppose a researcher wishes to determine the effectiveness of teaching Mathematics to Grade


VI pupils using modern method and traditional method of teaching in DWCL North Campus.
There is only one set of pupils of almost the same ability and they exposed to two methods of
teaching Mathematics. Is there significant difference on the effectiveness of teaching
Mathematics in modern method is better than traditional method to Grade VI pupils in DWCL

3. A dietitian wishes to see if a person’s cholesterol level will change if the diet is supplemented by
a certain mineral. Six subjects were pretested, and then they took the mineral supplement for a
6-week period. The results are shown in the table. (Cholesterol level is measured in milligrams
per deciliter.) Can it be concluded that the cholesterol level has been changed at ?
Assume the variable is approximately normally distributed.
