Exam 18: Overview and Extension: Statistical Tests for More Complex Designs

A psychologist's is studying the affects of Ritalin on concentration in 40 children that have been matched on age and IQ.Twenty of the children receive Ritalin and are asked to take an exam that measures their concentration.The other 20 children did not receive Ritalin,but a placebo pill and took the same exam.After graphing this data,the researcher realizes that the data is not normally distributed.What should he do?
