Psychologists investigating the potential benefits of mindfulness on mental health conducted a study to explore the relationship between mindfulness practice and anxiety levels. A sample of ten participants recorded their average weekly mindfulness practice (in hours) over a period of four weeks. In the final week of the study, the number of self-reported anxiety episodes experienced by each participant was recorded. The data is shown in the table below.
| Participant | Weekly mindfulness practice (hours) | Number of anxiety episodes |
|---|---|---|
| A | 2.0 | 13 |
| B | 4.5 | 5 |
| C | 0.5 | 18 |
| D | 3.0 | 10 |
| E | 5.0 | 2 |
| F | 1.0 | 16 |
| G | 3.5 | 9 |
| H | 2.5 | 11 |
| I | 4.0 | 6 |
| J | 1.5 | 14 |
