Plsss help
A team of researchers is testing the hypothesis that taking a break every hour to do 1 minute of
physical activity can reduce stress. They randomized 100 full-time employees between a
treatment group and a control group. The treatment group was instructed to take a 1-minute
break every hour at work to do some sort of physical activity. At the beginning and end of the
study, each participant took the Psychological Strain Questionnaire (PSQ), which measures
stress at work. The higher the PSQ score, the less stress the employee feels.
Researchers found that the change in PSQ scores for the treatment group was 10 points higher
than the change in PSQ scores for the control group. To test whether the results could be
explained by random chance, the researchers performed a simulation analysis. The summary of
2000 re-randomizations of their data is recorded below.
