     16. A   psychologist interested in political behavior measured the square footage of   the   desks in the official office   of four U.S. governors and of four chief executive officers   (CEOs) of major U.S.   corporations. The figures for the governors were 44, 36,   52, and 40 square feet. The   figures for the CEOs were 32, 60, 48, and 36 square   feet. (a) Figure the means and   standard deviations for the governors and for the   CEOs. (b) Explain, to a person   who has never had a course in statistics, what you   have done. (c) Note the ways   in which the means and standard deviations differ,   and speculate on the possible   meaning of these differences, presuming that they   are representative of U.S.   governors and large corporations’ CEOs in general.
