Question

The authors of a paper describe an experiment to evaluate the effect of using a cellphone on reaction time. Subjects were asked to perform a simulated driving task while taking on a cell phone. While performing this task occasional red and green lights flashed on the computer screen. If a green light flashed subjects were to continue driving, but if a red light flashed, subjects were to brake as quickly as possible. The reaction time ( in msec  ) was recorded. The following summary statistics are based on a graph that appeared in the paper. 

n= 41               x= 525                s= 65
