The reaction time test that had taken place involved the students to sit at a laptop and press the go button on the screen with their touch pad and wait for the stimulus to appear on the screen. When this stimulus would appear the student would then have to press on their touchpad with their writing hand and the amount of time that it took for the student to react to the stimulus and press the touchpad was the reaction time that was timed. The test was taken 3 times and the average of that was the result. And this whole proses was done one time without peppermint and once after peppermint was eaten. Before the test took place each of the students has practised doing the test without eating the peppermint a few times to be familiarized …show more content…
When separating the male and female groups and looking at their averages, both males and females reaction time increased but the female's reaction time increased more than the male's reaction time. But the SD was still smaller than the average difference concluding inconsistent …show more content…
There were also students who did not specifies if they were biologically male or female and the results that they provided was not used.
Nick’s G line, Nick’s F and Maha’s A line all also collected extra data after 5 minutes of eating peppermint and after 10 minutes of eating peppermint. The Average after for the three groups after 5 minutes was 0.32051 and the average for the 3 groups 10 minutes after eating peppermint is 0.307517, these averages are similar to the averages over all before eating peppermint and after and show no significant change over those periods of time. Maha’s A line also collected even more data but none of that data was used as a part of the overall calculations
Restated hypothesis
The null hypothesis for the experiment was ‘Peppermint oil has no effect on reaction time.’
You can then use your biology to explain what is similar and differnt about our experiment compared to Ilmberger, Meamarbashi etc.
