Question 10 • Probability and Statistics with Applications Honors Sem-2-FL-1210300 (2024-2025)
A group of six students decides to conduct an experiment about "brain freeze,” a phenomenon that often occurs when eating something cold. The students each flip a coin. If they flip heads, they eat a cup of Italian ice as fast as they can while sitting in an air-conditioned car. If they flip tails, they eat a cup of Italian ice as fast as they can while sitting outside in the sunshine. After a recovery period, they each complete the opposite treatment. The students record the amount of time it takes, in seconds, for them to experience brain freeze under each condition. The data are displayed in the table.
