Follow-up Question
  1. A researcher wanted to know whether the level of frustration over high gas prices differed for different types of vehicle owners. Following a sharp increase in the price of gas, the researcher asked 30 people to indicate their level of frustration with prices at the pump (frustration scores ranged from 1 to 10, with higher scores indicating greater frustration). Ten people were surveyed who owned a motorcycle as their primary means of transportation (coded a 1 in the data file 1), 10 were surveyed who owned a hybrid vehicle (coded a 2 in the data file 1), and 10 were surveyed who owned a non-hybrid vehicle (coded a 3 in the data file Exam 3).
