A generic drug is being tested to test its efficacy (effectiveness) at reducing blood pressure in patients with hypertension (a.k.a. high blood pressure). In a randomized, double-blind experiment with 200 patients, 100 are given the name-brand drug (control group) and 100 are given a generic version of the drug (treatment group). In the control group, the average reduction in blood pressure is 15.2 mmHG with a standard deviation of 11.5 mmHG. In the treatment group, there is an average reduction of 14.6 mmHG and a standard deviation of 12.5 mmHG. Neither group has any outliers. A researcher claims that this study shows the generic drug is not as effective as the name-brand drug. What would be the reply of a statistician?
