Aden wanted to determine the effects of stress on heart rate. As his stress factor, he asked subjects to complete math problems. He randomly divided his biology class of 24 students into 2 groups. He gave 1 group a timed test of difficult algebra problems; he gave the other group a timed test of simple arithmetic problems. Aden measured heart rates both before and immediately after the test.
