Here is the scenario: Suppose we hypothesize that there is a negative (inverse) relationship between treatment and depression. We'd like to test this hypothesis, so we obtain two samples. Sample 1 is drawn from a population of depressed persons who have not received any type of treatment. Sample 2 is drawn from a population o
