Question: The dataset you will use for this quiz contains data from a sample of approximately 1300 adolescents who had been arrested for a felony-level crime.

The dataset you will use for this quiz contains data from a sample of approximately 1300 adolescents who had been arrested for a felony-level crime. For this quiz, you will be focusing on the measure of impulse control (Impulse_Control). The scale used to measure impulse control ranges from 1-5, with greater scores corresponding to the adolescent having better impulse control.

We are interested in comparing this sample of adolescents' impulse control to the amount of impulse control as measured in the full population of all adolescents in the nation. The mean of impulse control in the national population of adolescents equals 3.82.
