In an independent groups design, where two separate groups are being compared on a measure, if the independent variable has a real effect, then there will be a significant difference between the means of the two groups, which means µ 1 (the mean of group 1) will not be equal to µ 2 (the mean of group 2). Therefore, the statement is true.
