All the 20 chicks were treated alike, except for the feeding treatment, and each feeding treatment was given to 5 chicks. Then, the critical difference between any two means is: 

In measuring reaction times, a psychologist estimates that the standard deviation is 0.05 seconds. How large a sample of measurements should be taken in order to be 95% confident that the error of the estimate will not exceed 0.01 seconds?
