A high school track coach wanted to test whether giving the students an energy drink could affect performance during the 100 meter race. The coach split the 18 boys into two equal sized groups, where Group 1 was given the energy drink and Group 2 was not. The 100 meter race times were recorded during practice and shown in the table below. What inference can be made about the results?

Respuesta :

Based on the difference in the observed means given, we can infer that energy drink does indeed have an effect on performance.

Can the energy drink affect performance?

First find the observed mean difference:

= 11.6 - 10.8

= 0.8 seconds

When the exercise is done only once, we see that on average, those who took the energy drink were faster and so finished earlier than those who didn't.

We can therefore infer that the energy drink has an effect on performance.
