The pre-test mean knowledge scores regarding sushi measurements is .50 (sd=.35) and the post-test mean knowledge scores is .77 (sd=.35). The pre-test mean knowledge scores statistically differ from the post-test mean knowledge scores (t(41)=-3.99, p<.001 (two-tailed)). However, male (m= .81, sd= .35) and female (m= .88, sd= .22) overall post-test mean knowledge scores did not significantly differ from each other (z= -.31, p=.814(two-tailed)).
