Read the following passage and answer questions 3-7.
Gerald believes that turtles exposed to radioactive ooze will become super strong, man-sized ninjas who have a great dislike of crime. He decides to perform this experiment by placing 10 baby turtles near a container of spilled ooze for 10 hours (Group A). He compared these 10 turtles to another 10 turtles that had not been exposed to real ooze but instead, were exposed to regular green slime which has no affect what-so-ever as had been proven previously (Group B). His test consisted of the turtles completing an obstacle course in the shortest time possible. After analysing the results, Bart found that the turtles exposed to the ooze (Group A) completed the course in an average of 1.5 minutes while those not exposed (Group B) took an average of 1138 minutes to complete the same course. Keep in mind that a regular baby turtle will take on average 1230 minutes to complete this same course (8% longer than Group B).
