- Trying to improve the techniques I use in the classroom and
reduce the anxiety of the students, I decided to try an experiment.
I decided that I would incorporate more relaxation techniques prior

scores are below. At α = 0.05, can it be concluded that the
relaxation techniques helped improve test scores?
