Data represent the effects of food and/or water deprivation onbehavior. Treatments 1 and 2 represent control conditions; animalreceived ad lib food and water (1) or else food and water twice perday (2). In treatment 3 animals were food deprived, in treatment 4they were water deprived, and in treatment 5 they were deprived ofboth food and water. The dependent variable is the number of trialsto reach a predetermined criterion. Assume we compared the combinedcontrol groups (treatments 1 and 2) with the combined experimentalgroups, the control groups with each other, the singly deprivedtreatments with the doubly deprived treatment, and the singlydeprived treatments with each other
