Read the following excerpt from an article (discussed in Chapter 2) on using a punching bag to express anger (Bushman, 2002):
How hard the punching bag was hit... Overall, men hit the punching bag harder than did women, M = 6.69, SD = 2.05, and M = 4.73, SD = 1.88 (respectively), F(1,396) = 99.14, p < 0.001.
Number of times the punching bad was hit... Participants who thought about becoming physically fit hit the punching bag more times than participants who thought about the person who insulted them, M = 127.5, SD = 63.5, and M = 112.2, SD = 57.5 (respectively), F(1,396) = 6.31, p < 0.05.
Based on the excerpt above, what is the average force women hit the punching bag and the variability of this punching force by women?
| a. | average: 1.88, variability = 4.73 |
| b. | average: 112.2, variability = 57.5 |
| c. | average: 2.05, variability = 6.69 |
| d. | average: 127.5, variability = 63.5 |
| e. | average: 6.69, variability = 2.05 |
| f. | average: 4.73, variability = 1.88 |
from given data ; average force women hit the punching bag and the variability of this punching force by women is M = 4.73, SD = 1.88
hence option f is correct
