Question 27

A university campus cafeteria wanted to increase recycling compliance among its patrons. A researcher designed an observational study during lunchtime rushes. Two identical recycling bins were placed in the cafeteria: one was fitted with a playful 3D lid shaped like a basketball hoop (the 'nudge'), while the other had a standard flat lid with no special features.

Over a one-week period, the researcher recorded the number of plastic bottles correctly deposited in each bin by two groups: Undergraduates and Postgraduates. The observational data is shown in the table below.

UndergraduatesPostgraduates
Bin with basketball hoop lid3542
Bin with standard flat lid1438

Outline two conclusions that can be obtained from the data collected in this study.
