The color of candy Inspired by the example about how background music influences

choice of entr茅e at a restaurant, a statistics student decided to investigate other ways to

influence a person鈥檚 behavior. Using $60$volunteers, she randomly assigned $20$volunteers

to get a 鈥渞ed鈥� survey, $20$volunteers to get a 鈥渂lue鈥� survey, and $20$volunteers to get a

control survey. The first three questions on each survey were the same, but the fourth and

fifth questions were different. For example, the fourth question on the 鈥渞ed鈥� survey was

鈥淲hen you think of the color red, what do you think about?鈥� On the blue survey, the

question replaced red with blue. On the control survey, the last two questions were not

about color. As a reward, each volunteer was allowed to choose a chocolate candy in a red

wrapper or a chocolate candy in a blue wrapper. Here are segmented bar graphs showing

the results of the experiment. Describe what you see.
