- Insomnia has become an epidemic in the United States. Much
research has been done in the development of new pharmaceuticals to
aide those who suffer from insomnia. Alternatives to the
pharmaceuticals are being sought by sufferers. A new relaxation
technique has been tested to see if it is effective in treating the
disorder. Sixty insomnia sufferers between the ages of 18 to 40
with no underlying health conditions volunteered to participate in
a clinical trial. They were randomly assigned to either receive the
relaxation treatment or a proven pharmaceutical treatment. Thirty
were assigned to each group. The amount of time it took each of
them to fall asleep was measured and recorded. The data is shown
below. Run an independent samples t-test to
determine if the relaxation treatment is more effective than the
pharmaceutical treatment at a level of significance of 0.05. copy
and paste the chart from SPSS. Report the test
statistic using correct APA formatting and interpret the
results.
