Question:

Do women study more than men? We asked the students in a large first-year college class how many minutes they studied on a typical weeknight. Here are the responses of random samples of 30 women and 30 men from the class:

Women Men 180 120 180 360 240 90 120 30 90 200 120 180 120 240 170 90 45 30 120 75 150 120 180 180 150 150 120 60 240 300 200 150 180 150 180 240 60 120 60 30 120 60 120 180 180 30 230 120 95 150 90 240 180 115 120 0 200 120 120 180

(a) Examine the data. Why are you not surprised that most responses are multiples of 10 minutes? Are there any responses you consider suspicious?

(b) Make a back-to-back stemplot to compare the two samples.

Does it appear that women study more than men

(or at least claim that they do)? Justify your answer.
