A study was conducted to explore the possibility of a music treatment effect on sleep quality (better, worse). One version of the study involved 41 truck drivers. The truck drivers were given the option to choose which group they were in. One group listened to music while they slept, while the other group did not. The researchers found a difference of 10.6 percentage points between the proportion of truck drivers in each group who experienced better sleep quality. The group that listened to music had the higher proportion. The tail proportion from a randomisation test carried out with the data from the study was 4/1000.

Question
A study was conducted to explore the possibility of a music treatment effect on sleep quality (better, worse). One version of the study involved 41 truck drivers.
The truck drivers were given the option to choose which group they were in. One group listened to music while they slept, while the other group did not.
The researchers found a difference of 10.6 percentage points between the proportion of truck drivers in each group who experienced better sleep quality. The group that listened to music had the higher proportion. The tail proportion from a randomisation test carried out with the data from the study was 4/1000.
