One of the authors wanted to determine the effect of changing answers on multiple-choice tests. She studied the tests given by another professor, who had told his
students before their exams that if they had doubts about an answer they had written, they would be better off not changing their initial answer. The author went through
the exams to look for erasures, which indicate that the first choice was changed. In these tests, there is only one correct answer for each question. Use the bar chart to
answer the question below.
