Short Answer

SCENARIO 11-12
A student team in a business statistics course designed an experiment to investigate whether the brand

Four brands of bubblegum were tested. A student chewed two pieces of a brand of gum and then blew
a bubble, attempting to make it as big as possible. Another student measured the diameter of the
bubble at its biggest point. The following table gives the diameters of the bubbles (in inches) for the
16 observations.
