To examine the effects of pets and friends in

stressful situations, researchers recruited 45

people to participate in an experiment. Fifteen
of the subjects were randomly assigned to
each of three groups to perform a stressful
task alone (control group), with a good friend
present, or with their dog present. Each
subject’s mean heart rate during the task was
recorded. Test the appropriate hypothesis at
the α = 0.05 level to decide if the mean heart
rate differs between the groups.
