Participants' answers were added together to arrive at a final "physical ttractiveness" score that could range from 5 to 25. These data are presented in table 1. our task is to statistically analyze these data and decide whether or not there is evidence here for the halo effect." A series of questions have been provided to help guide your exploration of the data. able 1.
