In order to investigate whether talking on cell phones is more distracting than listening to car radios while driving, sixty-four student volunteers (from a single college class) were randomly assigned to a cell phone group or a radio group (32 students were assigned to each group) . Each student "drove" a machine that simulated driving situations. While "driving" the simulator, a target would flash red at irregular intervals. Participants were instructed to press the "brake" button as soon as possible when they detected a red light. Participant response times were measured as the time between the red light appearing and pushing the brake button. While driving, the radio group listened to a radio broadcast and the cell phone group carried on a conversation on the cell phone with someone in the next room.
The cell phone group had an average response time of 585.2 milliseconds (SD = 89.6) , and the control group had an average response time of 533.7 milliseconds (SD = 65.3) .
-Does your interval from question 40 provide significant statistical evidence that the long-run mean response time differs between the cell phone and radio treatments?
A) Yes, since most of the interval is positive.
B) Yes, since zero is not contained in the interval.
C) No, since zero is contained in the interval.
D) The interval does not provide enough information to answer this question.
