A psychologist wishes to conduct a study on the effects of music deprivation on high school students. A high school class consists of the 30 students numbered in the list below. The researcher establishes a treatment group of 15 students who will have their portable music players replaced by experimental players that present the sound of water running. The control group of 15 students will all get regular portable music players, stuffed full of their favorite songs.

\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|l||}
\hline \hline 00 Aaron & 06 Fallon & 12 Kiefer & 18 Quincy & 24 Ukiah \\
\hline 01 Buffy & 07 Graham & 13 Lucia & 19 Rachael & 25 Valerie \\
\hline 02 Chandler & 08 Heather & 14 Monte & 20 Sarah & 26 Wahib \\
\hline 03 Cindy & 09 Hsin-Chi & 15 Naomi & 21 Stacy & 27 Xavier \\
\hline 04 Drusilla & 10 Ismail & 16 Otis & 22 Tasha & 28 Yolanda \\
\hline 05 Eric & 11 Jasmine & 17 Polly & 23 Tuan & 29 Zachary \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
