Question

Are women better at multitasking than men? Researchers conducted a multitasking experiment in which 120 men and 120 women played a computer game in which they were asked to carry out two tasks at the same time. The female group had an average speed that was faster than that of the male group.

Answer 1

Yes, women better at multitasking than men.

Explanation:

Given

`n_1=120` --- Men

`n_2=120` --- Women

`\bar x_2 > \bar x_1` --- Women with greater average speed

Required

Does women better at multitasking?

When making comparison between two variables that are subjected to the same conditions;

If both variables have different mean values; the variable with the greater mean value performs better.

So, in this case:

`\bar x_2 > \bar x_1` means that women perform better than men, at multitasking.
