Question 18

Empathy and Social Connections

A researcher wanted to investigate whether there is a relationship between a person's empathy level and the size of their close social circle. They measured empathy levels using a validated questionnaire (where scores ranged from 0 to 50, with higher scores indicating higher empathy) and recorded the number of close friends each participant claimed to have.

The raw data collected is shown in the table below:
