Question

A researcher is interested in whether social assertiveness might be influenced by training procedures. Two groups of college sophomores are randomly selected. Group A is assigned to the "training sessions", whereas the subjects in Group B are allowed to get on with their lives in any way they choose. Both groups are then given the "Social Assertiveness" test, (high scores indicating greater assertiveness), and the results were as follows: Group A Group B 14 12 11 10 10 10 10 8 8 7 6 3 8 8 9 6 10 5 11 4
