31. A researcher wanted to test the hypothesis that a given drug would adversely affect the rate of learning. A group of 40 subjects was employed in the research. Each subject was required to learn a task upto two errorless trials. Then each subject was given a specified drug dosage (1mg/body weight in kilogram) and thirty minutes after, the subject was required to learn another equated learning task upto two errorless trials. The number of trials required to learn each task followed a normal distribution. The mean number of trials required to learn the tasks were 24 and 20 only for normal and 'drugged conditions', respectively. The two conditions had comparable standard deviations. The mean difference was tested by a suitable statistical test and the difference was found to be significant at .01 level.
