1. I am interested in determining if my revolutionary strength training program is effective. I randomly select 20 students from my SCM 200 class. I randomly place 10 into a control group (conventional strength training program) and 10 into the experimental group (the revolutionary accelerated hypertrophy/strength program). I measure them before and after the program on their 1R.M for bench press and want to determine if the change in lbs is significantly greater in the experimental group compared to the control group. Results were found to be 10lbs (mean change) for the control and 20lbs (mean change) for the experimental. Standard deviations for the control and experimental were found to be 3.5 and 2.5 respectively. Can I make the claim that my program appears to be effective at increasing strength?

Continuous Probability Distributions
Probability distributions are of two types, which are continuous probability distributions and discrete probability distributions. A continuous probability distribution contains an infinite number of values. For example, if time is infinite: you could count from 0 to a trillion seconds, billion seconds, so on indefinitely. A discrete probability distribution consists of only a countable set of possible values.
Normal Distribution
Suppose we had to design a bathroom weighing scale, how would we decide what should be the range of the weighing machine? Would we take the highest recorded human weight in history and use that as the upper limit for our weighing scale? This may not be a great idea as the sensitivity of the scale would get reduced if the range is too large. At the same time, if we keep the upper limit too low, it may not be usable for a large percentage of the population!
