Question 1075018: Imagine that a psychologist wants to know if drinking coffee every day over the course of a semester can increase college students scores on the final exam in a statistics class. He is able to get all the students in his class of 50 to agree to be a part of his study (unlikely I know - just go with it). He randomly assigns them to one of two groups. All students in Group 1 drink coffee before going to class every day. All students in Group 2 do not drink coffee before going to class. At the end of the semester, all of the students take the final exam. The students in Group 1 (coffee group) have a mean final exam score of 88. The students in Group 2 (no-coffee group) have a mean final exam score of 82. Give three possible explanations for the 6 point difference between the group name.

In response, I will give you even better example of an absurd "statistical" statement. 

     All people that were born 150 years ago and eat cucumbers just died.


The conclusion: do not eat cucumbers, since it is unhealthy product.


Ha-ha-ha.


Please consider it as a kind of (sort of) joke.
