A researcher recruits a sample (N = 20) of people seen placing bets while watching a March Madness College Basketball game. Before the start of the game, all attendees had their excitement measured on a 7-point scale (1 = not at all, 7 = very). The crowd’s excitement was displayed on the jumbotron: µ = 4.76, σ = 1.49. The researcher wants to test whether participating in betting affected the samples’ level of excitement. Your data set shows a record of each participant’s excitement rating directly after placing a bet.
Excitement data set:
