The Core Plus Mathematics Project (CPMP), an innovative program approach to teaching Mathematics that engages students in group investigation and mathematical modelling, was investigated. 320 students were randomly selected to follow the CPMP method and 273 were randomly selected to follow a traditional method. From a standardized test, scores are as follows:
CPMP --> mean: 57.4 , standard deviation: 32.1
Traditional --> mean: 53.9 , standard deviation: 28.5
Create a 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean scores of the standardized test between the CPMP method and the Traditional method.
Test the appropriate hypotheses at the 5% level of significance.
