Question
Backpack Weights
A group of undergraduate students at Cal Poly (Mintz, Mintz, Moore, and Schuh, 2002) conducted a study examining how much weight students carry in their backpacks. They weighed the backpacks of 100 students and compared the distributions of backpack weights between men and women. The student researchers also recorded the body weight of each student and computed the ratio of backpack weight to body weight for each student.
