To verify whether the average <strong>of</strong> error rates per<br />

student, in each ngp, in the specific texts was different from<br />

the average <strong>of</strong> error rates per student, in each ngp, in the<br />

nonspecific<br />

texts, the 't 1 test <strong>of</strong> Student, for the difference <strong>of</strong><br />

averages, was applied ( x-j 4 x^ )• first sample (n-j) consists<br />

<strong>of</strong> the two non-specific texts, from which the average (x-j) <strong>of</strong><br />

error rates per student, in each ngp, <strong>an</strong>d the st<strong>an</strong>dard<br />
