write a thorough conclusion: The objective of this study was to conduct a comparative analysis of two seventh-grade classes, one from Galena School and the other from Potts Camp Middle School, using a t-test. Each class comprising 25 students was selected based on their balanced size to ensure a fair comparison. The variable of interest is the students' Spring ELA ELS Benchmark Assessment scores, collected the week before Spring Break. This comparison will provide insights into the academic performance of the two classes and potentially reveal any significant differences in their educational outcomes. The t-test was conducted assuming equal variances (see Table). The mean ELA Benchmark score for Galena School was 78.60, while for Potts Camp Middle School, it was 70.80. The variance for the two groups was tested and found to be equal, as the smaller variance, 145.17, multiplied by two, exceeded the larger variance, 250.08. This indicates that the assumption of equal variances was met, allowing for proceeding with the t-test. The t-test was conducted with 48.00 degrees of freedom (df), reflecting the total number of students in both classes minus 2 (50-2). The calculated t Statistic (t Stat) was 1.96, compared to the critical t-value (t Critical two-tail), which was 2.01. The calculated t Stat, 1.96, was less than the critical t-value, 2.01, indicating that the difference in mean scores between the two classes was not statistically significant at the significance level.
