Question:
A study conducted at Penn State University asked the participants to estimate the number of calories in a burrito. Group 1 was asked to do this estimate after thinking about a calorie-heavy loaded balck-forest cake. Group 2 was asked to do this estimate after thinking about a light calorie Cesar salad. The mean number of calories estimated in a burrito was 840 for Group 1 and 1081 for Group 2. Sample size was 30 people in each group. The standard deviation of the number of calories in the burrito was 148 for Group 1 and 160 for Group 2.
The study wants to determine whether the mean estimated number of calories in the burrito is lower for people in Group 1 than the people in Group 2. This study found an evidence that the mean estimated number of calories in the burrito is lower for Group 1 than for Group 2.
