Reference no: EM131322580

A researcher was interested in whether people tend to marry individuals who are about the same level of physical attractiveness as they are. She took individual photographs of 14 pairs of spouses. Then, she had 10 participants rate the attractiveness of these 28 pictures on a 10-point scale (where 1 = very unattractive and 10 = very attractive). She averaged the 10 participants' ratings to get an attractiveness score for each photograph. Her raw data are below:

Score for Wife's Photograph	Score for Husband's Photograph
5	6
9	7
4	4
2	4
7	5
6	5
5	5
9	8
8	4
10	8
4	3
5	4
7	7
8	7
