As part of a Masterʹs thesis project, a mathematics teacher is interested in the effects of two different teaching methods on mathematics achievement. She randomly chooses a class of students to learn one algebraic concept
Using traditional methods. Then on another day, the same students learn a similar algebraic concept using
Manipulatives. The teacher then compares their test scores. Determine whether the samples are dependent or
Independent.
