Does computer-assisted instruction help children with reading difficulties to learn reading skills at a faster than normal rate? A researcher arranged for one of these children to have access to a set of computer-learning programs instead of the normal reading curriculum for one term. At the end of the term, the researcher tested her on a standardized reading ability test on which the mean for children with reading difficulties is 36 with a standard deviation of 6. The test participant scored 47. Was this result significant at the .05 level?

b. Explain the logic of what you did (be sure your explanation includes the overall logic of hypothesis testing, including each of the five steps).
