A researcher was interested in comparing two well-known techniques for alleviating anxiety-humor and deep breathing. He split his class up into two groups and randomly assigned subjects into two groups. Group 1 listened to 3 minutes of a comedy routine (humor condition) and group 2 practiced deep breathing for 3 minutes (the breathing condition); then they took a self-report survey of their anxiety symptoms. Group 1 had 10 people and Group 2 had 9 people. The researcher concluded that there would be a difference between the two groups. He set alpha to .01. The data is below. What is the calculated test statistic, to the nearest thousandth? Make sure you put in the correct sign. Group 1 Group 2 SS=78 SS = 92 M = 34.5 M = 37
