a. Find a 95% confidence interval for the mean score on process skills for the posttest for all BACC classes.
b. Find a 95% confidence interval for the mean score on process skills for the posttest for all traditional classes.
c. Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean scores on process skills for the posttest BACC classes and the posttest traditional classes.
d. Does the confidence interval in c provide evidence that there is a real difference in the mean process skills scores between posttest BACC and traditional class scores? Explain.
