Now, pretend you actually ran the study you came up with. Make up the results (the test statistic values, means and SDs), and write up the results as you would see them in an APA style research paper. Note, you do not actually have to do any calculations here! You just need to make up the means and sds for each group, the test statistic value, and the p value and write out the results. You can use the answers to the write up questions on the previous 4 assignments as a template for this!
