Section 1 mean=799.4/8=99.925
Section 2 mean=699.3/7=99.9
Overall mean=1498.7/15=99.91
The section mean for either categories is greater than item by item mean. This implies the way we differ in our ethics.
Recommendation
There is a need to compare our ethical standards with those of other people from diverse categories.
