A social psychologist wanted to determine whether the attitudes of men toward gun control were different in urban and rural areas. He prepared a questionnaire and administered it to a group of urban men and a group of rural men. Each urban man was matched with a rural man on age, income, and education. High scores indicate more positive attitudes toward gun control. Here are the scores:
