Are the results of the following study statistically significant? If so, why?
A psychologist performs an experiment to see if she could condition a group of third graders to associate doing math with the positive feeling of eating sugar. For a one semester, she gave pieces of candy to students doing math problems in one classroom, while giving nothing to students in a neighboring classroom. She observed that all of the students in the study class associated candy with doing math by the end of the semester. She performed the same experiment the following year with a different class and had similar results.
