Sara is studying how quickly adults tire after eating turkey. She splits a group of 20 adults into 2 groups. One group is given turkey to eat and the other group is not given anything to eat. Sara asks the adults to start exercising at the same, and to stop when they tire, measuring the time each adult stops exercising. She finds that the adults who did not eat turkey exercised 2 minutes longer than those who did not eat turkey. Sara retandomizes the data, calculates the difference between the means, and creates the dot plot shown below.

If no one ate turkey, this will not be a very good study.
