A psychological researcher has recently had a baby. Little Cohen is her pride and joy, and she would do all that she could for him to help him start his new life as a little skeptic. Her first task is, as it so often is, with the diapers she provides baby Cohen. She measures the means and standard deviations for the hours her son sleeps wearing Huggies (M = 4, SD = 1) and Pampers (M = 2, SD = 3). How many (pooled) standard deviations separate Huggies from Pampers?
