Question

Arthur reads an article describing an experiment to test the effects of caffeine on the reaction time of humans—how long it took them to respond to a particular signal. In the experiment, the subjects' reaction times were measured, then they were divided into three groups. One group was given a high dose of caffeine. The second group was given a medium dose of caffeine. The third group was given a sugar pill that had no caffeine. After waiting 45 min for the caffeine to take effect, the reaction times were measured again.
