if researchers were studying the effects of teaching methods on patient learning outcomes how must they word the research question to use t-test for statistical differences?

To use a t-test for statistical differences in studying the effects of teaching methods on patient learning outcomes, researchers would typically formulate their research question in a way that focuses on comparing the mean scores or outcomes of two specifically defined groups.
For example, here's how researchers can word their research question to potentially use a t-test:
"Is there a statistically significant difference in patient learning outcomes between Group A, which was taught using Teaching Method X, and Group B, which was taught using Teaching Method Y?"
In this case, the researchers are interested in comparing the mean learning outcomes of two distinct groups receiving different teaching methods. By phrasing the research question in this way, the t-test can be employed to examine if there is a statistically significant difference between the two groups.
It's important to note that the specific details of the groups, teaching methods, and outcome measures must be clearly defined in the research question to ensure accurate interpretation and application of the t-test.
