Dr. Aris wanted to investigate whether toddlers aged 2 to 3 years old prefer playing with a novel interactive digital whiteboard or traditional finger-painting. She set up both activities in a specialized play-laboratory at a university and filmed the children's choices from behind a one-way mirror to see which activity they chose to play with first.

Dr. Aris's results are shown in Table 1.
