1b) The mean body image rating for non-dieters is 41.93, while the mean for dieters is 38.07, a
difference of almost 4 points. The difference between non-dieters and dieters in terms of self-
esteem is less drastic, with less than a 2-point difference between the mean self-esteem rating for
non-dieters (23.87) and dieters (22). This suggests that the means for body image between
dieters and non-dieters differ more significantly than self-esteem.

2b) According to the p-values, there is a significant relationship between body image and dieting status
because the p-value is below .05. However, there is not a meaningful relationship between self-esteem
and dieting status because the p-value is above .05. Based on the results of the tests, it can be concluded
that individuals who are currently dieting tend to have a more favourable perception of their body image
compared to those who are not dieting, but dieting does not significantly impact self-esteem.

3c)
The results of both tests are significant because the p-values are below .05, indicating that people eat more and
feel happier while watching a funny movie compared to not watching anything.
4a)
The hypothesis is that regular coffee drinkers consume more cups during a typical workday than
on a specific day off.
The independent variable is whether the person is at work on a typical workday or enjoying a
day off, and the amount of coffee consumed is the dependent variable.
4b)

4c) The data collected in my experiment supports my hypothesis that habitual coffee drinkers
consume more coffee on workdays than on days off. The p-value of the relationship between
coffee consumed during a workday versus cups consumed on a day off was less than .05,
indicating that the relationship is statistically significant. Based on the practical results of this
test, my hypothesis is supported.
