In a study examining the effect of alcohol on reaction time, researchers found that even moderate alcohol consumption significantly slowed response time to an emergency situation in a driving simulation. In a similar study, researchers measured reaction 30 minutes after participants consumed one 6-ounce glass of wine. Again, they used a standardized driving simulation task for which the regular population averages u = 400 msec. The distribution of reaction times is approximately normal with = 40. Assume that the researcher obtained a sample mean of M = 422 for the n = 25 participants in the study.

• Are the data sufficient to conclude that the alcohol has a significant effect on reaction time? Use a two-tailed test with = .05.
• Do the data provide evidence that the alcohol significantly increased (slowed) reaction time? Use a one-tailed test with = .05.
• Compute Cohens d to estimate the size of the effect.
