Question: Who talks more-women or men? According to Louann Brizendine, author of The Female Brain, women say nearly three times as many words per day as men. Skeptical researchers devised a study to test this claim. They used electronic devices to record the talking patterns of 396 university students who volunteered to participate in the study. The device was programmed to record 30 seconds of sound every 12.5 minutes without the carrier's knowledge. According to a published report of the study in Scientific American, "Men showed a slightly wider variability in words uttered. But in the end, the sexes came out just about even in the daily averages: women at 16,215 words and men at 15,669."56 This difference was not statistically significant. What conclusion can we draw from this study? Explain.
