Researchers Latané and Rodin (1969) were interested in studying helping behavior. In one of their experiments, they set up a situation in which the participant was brought into the waiting room either by themselves or with two or four confederates. The researcher says she will be right back, but as she walks into the other room, she pretends to sprain her ankle. The number of seconds from her cry until the participant offers help is recorded as the dependent variable. The following data are representative of their findings:

Alone: 26, 25, 30, 20, 32 Two confederates: Four confederates: 30, 33, 29, 40, 36 32, 39, 35, 41, 44 a. Calculate the sample size (N), mean (Xi), and standard deviation (s;) for each group. b. Create a bar graph for the data with the number of confederates on the X-axis and the mean number of seconds on the Y-axis.
