Question

Corporate advertising tries to enhance the image of the corporation. A study compared two ads from two sources, the wall street journal and the national enquirer. Subjects were asked to pretend that their company was considering a major investment in performax, the fictious sportswear firm in the ads. Each subject was asked to respond to the question " How trustworthy was the source in the sportswear company ad for performax?" On a 7-point scale. Higher values indicated more trustworthiness. Here is a summary of the results.

AD SOURCE.                    N           Standard deviation       Sample mean

wall street journal.          66                     1.50                         4.77

National Enquirer            61                      1.64                        2.43
