Repeated measures
Swearing can help...
The independent T Test was carried out and there was a significant differencein the mean volume (cm3) of gummy bears in water (n=10) and in salt water(n=10) (t9.023 = 15.002, P<0.001). The mean (±SE) volume of gummy bears inwater and salt water were 19.04 ± 0.99 and 2.14 ± 0.04 (cm3) .
