Substance A = Neutral
Substance B = Depressant
Substance C = Stimulant.
I came to this conclusion based on the method that I used to collect the data. I excluded the data from Jazlyn's group because I did not have the data for Substance A, and using the data that they provided for Substances B and C without A would prove to make my results inconsistent. I calculated the average pulse rate for each substance by adding all of the recorded pulse rates provided by every group, then diving that amount by how the number of inputs, thus finding the mean. Substance A had an average pulse rate of 21.68, thus enabling me to label this substance as Neutral. Substance B had an average pulse rate of 14.30, which led me to label this substance as a Depressant. Finally, Substance C had an average pulse rate of 25.62, which I labeled as a Stimulant.
