- State the hypotheses if you intend to prove that younger age group has a higher (which means better) mean body condition than the older age group.
- Find t and p-value of the test.
- State your decision (in statistical language)
- What is your conclusion in English?
We don't have enough evidence to conclude younger people have higher body count than older people level of significance 0.05
- (50%) To compare drug effects of two drugs that were developed to reduce sugar level, a group of volunteers were recruited (view that as a random sample). The researcher ask each volunteer to use one of the two drug in the first time of taking a drug, and use the other drug when the second time a drug is used. The amount of sugar reduction were recorded as the initial measure minus the sugar measure after one hour of using the corresponding drugs.
