Abstract
When two groups are drawn from populations that are normally distributed, the methods of Procedures 39 and 40 are used to determine whether the groups are drawn from the same or from different populations; in other words, is there a significant difference between the means of each group? When we have no knowledge of the distribution, different methods are used to determine whether the samples are drawn from the same or from different populations. In pharmacologic work the groups are usually a control group and a drug-treated group.
