A researcher wants to know which strategies help people to better tolerate unpleasant relatives during post-COVID family gatherings: picking fights with relatives, eating lots of snacks, or playing with the family dog and not speaking to anyone. He recruits a group of participants and has 1/3 of them pick fights with relatives during a family gathering, 1/3 eat lots of snacks during a family gathering, and 1/3 play with the family dog and not speak to anyone during a family gathering. After the gathering, he measures how annoyed each participant felt by their relatives. His dataset has been entered into the table below.

Annoyance (0-10):

Picking Fights: 7,9,5,10,9,8,9,7,8,4

Eating Snacks: 5,6,4,7,3,5,5,0,10,4

Playing with Dogs: 2,1,0,4,3,5,3,1,2,4
