Air traffic controllers perform the vital function of regulatingthe traffic of passenger planes. Frequently, air trafficcontrollers work long hours with little sleep. Researchers wantedto test their ability to make basic decisions as they becomeincreasingly sleep deprived. To test their abilities, a sample of 6air traffic controllers is selected and given a decision-makingskills test following 12-hour, 24-hour, and 48-hour sleepdeprivation. Higher scores indicate better decision-making skills.The table lists the hypothetical results of this study.
