experiment?

C. )randomly selected teammates who are given only small amounts of a protein drink
D. )randomly selected teammates
E. )volunteers from the general campus population who begin football training and are given a protein drink
in training who are given a placebo instead of a protein drink

What is hypothesis testing based on?

_________ test can be used to extend the results from a sample to the entire population

A ___________ ____________ result is one that is very unlikely to be due to chance differences between the experimental and control groups, showing a big difference between the groups.

When an experiment has a large sample size, and there is a large difference between the results in the experimental and control groups, it is ________ that the experimental results are statistically significant.
