Survey: Outdoor Activities A Michigan study concerning preference for outdoor activities used a questionnaire with a 6-point Likert-type response in which 1 designated

“not important” and 6 designated “extremely important.”

A random sample of n1 5 46 adults were asked about fishing as an outdoor activity. The mean response was x1 5 4.9. Another random sample of n2 5 51 adults were asked about camping as an outdoor activity. For this group, the mean response was x2 5 4.3. From previous studies, it is known that s1 51.5 and s2 51.2. Does this indicate a difference (either way) regarding preference for camping versus preference for fishing as an outdoor activity? Use a 5% level of significance. Note: A Likert scale usually has to do with approval of or agreement with a statement in a questionnaire. For example, respondents are asked to indicate whether they “strongly agree,” “agree,”

“disagree,” or “strongly disagree” with the statement.
