Here, the reasoning skills are measured two times one at the beginning of the course and the one at the end of the semester on the same student. Hence, it is a case of paired measurements. The measurements are done on an interval scale. It is also reasonable to assume that the scores are approximately Normal and are independent of each other.
If the statistics course is effective, then we are expected to get higher scores after the course. Hence, I shall perform a paired t-test on the difference in scores using the difference end score-pre score. To be effective, this difference has to be positive. We shall be testing the Null hypothesis
