Instructions: Read the following paragraph and answer the five questions which follow.

A sport psychologist wanted to study the effect of a specific type of steroids. She hypothesized that the
consumption of steroid would temporarily improve the running rate. Seventy athletes in the age range
of 25 to 30 years were employed in this work. Two groups, A and B, of equal size were formed by
random assignment. The examination of the two groups revealed that the two groups had similar
genderwise composition. Group A athletes received the drug dosage, adjusted for the body weight.
Group B athletes received the placebo. Twenty-five minutes (time required to manifest the steroid
effects) after, the athletes were required to run a specific track. The mean time to run the track was
calculated for each group. The mean time required to run the track was 180 seconds and 145 seconds
respectively for Group A and Group B. The mean difference was evaluated by appropriate statistical
test.
