A student is interested in whether students who study with music playing devote as much attention to their studies as students who study under quiet conditions. He believes that studying under quiet conditions leads to better attention.

He randomly assigns participants to either the music or no-music condition and has them read and study the same passage of information for the same amount of time. Subjects are given the same 10-item test on the material. Their scores appear next.

Scores on the test represent interval-ratio data and are normally distributed.

I believe that the student who listens to music is just as devoted to its Work and makes you calmer and more relaxed and it does have more of a tendency to make you be focused as in the student who doesn't listen to music may distract him/her so either way it depends on whether they can focus and devote their time to actually working and being progressive

This question explores how background music affects students' study attention, particularly contrasting music and silence. Studies suggest there are mixed results, with some music types aiding concentration and others distracting students. The impact can depend on various factors, including the complexity of the music and the individual student's learning preferences.
