Essay

A group of 20 violent drug abusers, all of whom had committed homicide while under the influence of a psychostimulant, was selected from the population of a certain prison. Half the men had been cocaine abusers while the other half had been on methamphetamines. All were abstinent at the time of testing. The men were tested on the CAQ (Clinical Analysis Questionnaire) and their Factor Q1 scores were compared (Factor Q1 includes Radicalism, Hypochondriasis and Boredom & Withdrawal). Their scores, converted to T scores, were as follows: Cocaine Group: 65,58,65,62,60,61,70,71,68,75. Methamphetamine Group: 60,53,52,55,54,59,62,60,60,56
-Do the two groups differ significantly?
