Question: A psychologist interested in political behavior measured the square footage of
the desks in the official office of four U.S. governors and of four chief executive
officers (CEOs) of major U.S. corporations. The figures for the governors
were 44, 36, 52, and 40 square feet. The figures for the CEOs were 32, 60, 48,
and 36 square feet. (a) Figure the mean and standard deviation for the governors
and for the CEOs. (b) Explain what you have done to a person who has
never had a course in statistics. (c) Note the ways in which the means and standard
deviations differ, and speculate on the possible meaning of these differences,
presuming that they are representative of U.S. governors and large
corporations’ CEOs in general.
