    The document compares two methods for determining if a special tea improves student attention spans using a sample and control group. Method 1 finds a 10% difference between the groups, which is less than the 14% margin of error, so the results are inconclusive. Method 2 calculates ranges of 46-68 and 36-74 for the groups, with an 18% overlap, which is less than the 38% total range, so these results are also inconclusive and do not prove the tea causes improved attention spans.
