A study was conducted to explore the possibility of a podcast treatment effect on someone's ability to estimate time. One version of the study involved 95 school students. Each student was led into a dark room, and asked to press a button exactly three minutes after a signal was given. The time that actually passed from the signal to the pushing of the button was recorded in seconds. The school students were allocated to a group randomly at the time that they signed up for the study. One group listened to a podcast during the study, while the other group did not. The researchers found a difference of 8.7 seconds between the mean of the times recorded for each group, with the group that listened to a podcast having the higher mean. The tail proportion from a randomisation test carried out with the data from the study was 109/1000. Is the observed difference unusual when compared to the 'just chance' distribution? (enter yes or no)
