6. A study was conducted to examine the effect of pets in stressful situations. Fifteen subjects were randomly assigned to each of three groups to do a stressful task alone (the control group), with a good friend present, or with their dog present. The subject's mean heart rate (in beats per minutes) during the task is one measure of the effect of stress. The data has is the mean heart rates during stress with a pet (P), with a friend (F) and for the control group (C).

Make a side by side box plot of the heart rates by the three groups. To do this in R use: plot(Rate Group,data=Stress) Does there seem to be a difference in the heart rates of the three groups? Do any of the groups show outliers or extreme skewness? b. We want to test if there is a difference in the mean heart rates for the three groups. Give the null hypothesis of this test. c. Does the data suggest that there is a difference among the three groups? Use a = 0.05. d. If there seems to be a difference, complete a Bonferroni pairwise test to determine which or if all the means are different from each other. 6.
