1. i work out a lot are people influenced by what others say? michael conducted an experiment in front of a popular gym. as people entered, he asked them how many days they typically work out per week. as he asked the question, he showed the subjects one of two clipboards, determined at random. clipboard a had the question and many responses written down, where the majority of responses were 6 or 7 days per week. clipboard b was the same, except most of the responses were 1 or 2 days per week. the mean response for the clipboard a group was 4.68 and the mean response for the clipboard b group was 4.21. (a) calculate the difference (clipboard a - clipboard b) in the mean number of days for the two groups.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify values

Let $x_A = 4.68$ be the mean of Clipboard A group and $x_B=4.21$ be the mean of Clipboard B group.

Step2: Calculate difference

We want to find $x_A - x_B$. So, $4.68-4.21$.
$4.68 - 4.21=0.47$

Answer:

$0.47$
