Before going for 2 sample t test, we need to test for equlaity of variance.


Since p - value ( Levenes test ) is > 0.05, population of both samples have equal variances
Now doing 2 sample t test.
Conclusion
: Since p - value ( 0.1534) is > 0.05, we fail to reject Null
and conclude that there is no difference in developing skill by
practice methods by both type.
Below is the minitab output.
