Question:

The Rape Myth Acceptance Scale (RMAS) was administered to 333 male students at a public university. Of these students, 155 were randomly selected from students who did not belong to a fraternity, and 178 were randomly selected from students who belonged to a fraternity. The higher the score on the RMAS, the greater the acceptance of rape myths, so lower scores are considered desirable. The accompanying data appeared in the article “Rape Supportive Attitudes Among Greek Students Before and After a Date Rape Prevention Program” (Journal of College Student Development [1994]: 450–455). Do the data support the researchers’ claim that the mean RMA score is lower for fraternity members? Use α = .05.
