QUESTION

As the prices of heating oil and natural gas increase, consumers become more careful about heating their homes.

As the prices of heating oil and natural gas increase, consumers become more careful about heating their homes. Researchers want to know how warm home owners keep their houses in January and how the results from Wisconsin and Tennessee compare. The researchers randomly call 23 Wisconsin households between 7 P.M. and 9 P.M. on January 15 and ask the respondent how warm the house is according to the thermostat. The researchers then call 19 households in Tennessee the same night and ask the same question. The results follow.

Wisconsin

71 71 65 68

70 61 67 69

75 68 71 73

74 68 67 69

69 72 67 72

70 73 72

Tennessee

73 75 74 71

74 73 74 70

72 71 69 72

74 73 70 72

69 70 67
