Radio Radio

Ask at least twenty people the following question: "About how many hours per week do you spend listening to the radio?" Record the responses in a frequency table and indicate whether each response was given by a male or female.

One partner uses the data in the frequency table to support the argument that there is a significant difference in the amounts of time males and females spend listening to the radio. The other partner uses the data to support the argument that males and females spend about the same amount of time listening to the radio.
