The figures for the governors were 44, 36, 52 and 40 square feet. The figures for the CEOs were 32, 60 48 and 36 square feet.
------------------------------------
(a) Figure the mean and the standard deviation for the governors and for the CEOs.
Governors: x-bar = 43 : s = 6.83
CEO: x-bar = 44 ; s = 12.65
--------------------------------------
(b)Explain what you have done to a person who has never had a course in statistics
I'll leave that to you.
--------------------------------------
(c) Note the ways in which the means and standard deviations differ, and speculate on the possible meaning of these differences, presuming that they are representative of U.S. Governors and large corporations’ CEOs in general.
Means are about the same. The range is twice as wide for CEO's, indicating
some CEO have much larger desks and some have much smaller desks.
