Part 2

A psychologist was interested in whether hydration had an impact on the cognitive abilities of teenagers.  She approached the local secondary school and was granted permission to carry out an experiment on a cohort of two sixth year classes.  There were 25 pupils in each class.   She devised a cognitive task for that age group. Class A pupils received no bottled water in class for a week before the test.  Class B was provided with a half-litre bottle of water every day.  After one week, the cognitive task was administered to each class.  The results (out of 100) were as follows

Class A  –    No waterClass B – with water
