Question

Researchers are studying the impact of alcohol consumption on a person’s ability to perform a simple task. Five subjects complete a small puzzle while sober, and then again after drinking three glasses of wine. The times (in seconds) are shown below, as well as some summary statistics: Subject 1 2 3 4 5 mean std. dev. Sober (S) 109 132 248 155 202 169.2 55.9 After Wine 141 128 290 174 260 198.6 72.5 (AW)
