Short Answer

Because of the cost of producing television shows and the profits associated with successful shows, television network executives are keenly interested in public opinion. A network has recently developed three comedy series. The pilot of each series is shown to 10 randomly selected people, who evaluate each show on a 9-point scale where 1 = terrible and 9 = excellent. The results are shown below. $\quad$ $\quad$ $\quad$$\text { Assessments of Television Shows }$
