The results were statistically significant because there was a large gap between the test scores with chewing gum , and the scores without it. ]]> 2017-11-12 18:52:51 UTC https://padlet.com/trysten_palmer/g1emqsoh2569/wish/206018151 emilywilcox100 https://padlet.com/trysten_palmer/g1emqsoh2569/wish/206018212 Study pays for the participants test: 200x$60=$12000

This can not work for double blind because the sample size is small and everyone knows who is chewing the gum and who is not. ]]> 2017-11-13 14:33:01 UTC https://padlet.com/trysten_palmer/g1emqsoh2569/wish/206249140 trysten_palmer https://padlet.com/trysten_palmer/g1emqsoh2569/wish/206249470 For randomized block design we took all 200 seniors and blocked them in by GPA ranging from 4.0-3.0 and 2.9-2.0.
