Drawing Conclusions Hypothesis Testing

In 1988 ( July 28) The New York Times carried a story on people’s knowledge of geography. The article described a study commissioned by The National Geographic Society and carried out by the Gallup Organization in which the researchers asked a large number of people in random samples from different countries to identify 16 locations (13 countries, Central America, the Persian Gulf, and the Pacific Ocean) on a world map. The researchers added up the number of correct identifications (from 0 to 16) each person made.
