One Year Almost All the Cowboys at the Mythical Stats

Essay

One year almost all the cowboys at the mythical Stats Bar-X Ranch quit their jobs. Half of them went to law school and were admitted to the bar. The other half skipped law school but even so were admitted to a bar, where a limbo contest took place between the two groups. The numbers below are each participant's best score, showing just how flexible each was. Compare the two groups with the appropriate t test, calculate an effect size index, and write an interpretation. (In a limbo contest, low scores are better than high scores.) $$\begin{array} { l l } \text { Lawyers } & \text { Others } \\\hline 3 \mathrm { ft } .4 \text { in. } & 3 \mathrm { ft } .4 \mathrm { in } . \\3 \mathrm { ft } .6 \text { in. } & 3 \mathrm { ft } .9 \text { in. } \\3 \mathrm { ft } .4 \text { in. } & 3 \mathrm { ft } .11 \text { in. } \\3 \mathrm { ft } .1 \text { in. } & 3 \mathrm { ft } .8 \mathrm { in } . \\3 \mathrm { ft } .5 \text { in. } & 3 \mathrm { ft } .8 \mathrm { in } .\end{array}$$
