27 Question 6 continued Betsan also asked the knitters how happy knitting makes them feel on a rating of 0 ‘not at all’ to 100 ‘extremely’. She performed another Wilcoxon rank-sum test on the results to find out whether knitters who attend knitting groups find knitting makes them happier, on average, than knitters who do not attend knitting groups. The result of her test was to reject H0 at the 5% significance level. Betsan claims that her test shows that knitting in a group makes people happier than knitting on your own. (d) Suggest two other possible explanations for Betsan’s results. Assume that none of the knitters lied to Betsan and that she did not make any mistakes in her calculations.
