A researcher is studying the effects of MDMAuse and panic attacks. 2 groups of 10 are created through random assignment. The first consists of people aged 18 who regularly consume MDMA. The second group consists of individuals aged18 who have never used MDMA. Both groups are asked to complete a survey that records the total number of panic attacks experienced in the last 3 months Is there a difference in the amount of panic attacks reported between the groups
MDMA
Number of PANIC attacks
