14) Based on the literature, you hypothesize that students in traditional biology lectures will
have the same grades as students in online biology lectures. You decide to test your hypothesis
by comparing grades of students in traditional and online biology lectures over a semester. As a
result of the experiment, you observe that the grades in the traditional lectures and the grades in
the online lectures are not significantly different. What do these observations allow you to do?
