Q.4) Educational Research was aimed to study effect of three different methods of teaching for a particular content. Three groups, each consisting of five students of class IX, assigned randomly, were taught using different methods. The scores obtained in achievement test were recorded as follows :

Group I |
Group II |
Group III |

Q.4) (A) Two groups X and Y of VIIIth standard students, 100 in each group are matched by pairs on scores in stress test. Yoga program was implemented only to Experimental Group. After fifteen months, data tabulated from post-test of stress was as follows :
