17. Alcohol and Altitude The effect of alcohol consumption on the body appears to be much greater at high altitudes than at sea level. To test this theory, one group of 6 randomly selected individuals is put into a chamber that simulates conditions at an altitude of 3600 meters, and each subject ingests a drink containing 100 cubic centimeters (cc) of alcohol. A second group of 6 randomly selected individuals receives the same drink in a chamber that simulates conditions at sea level. After 2 hours, the amount of alcohol in the blood (grams per 100 cc) for each subject is measured.

The data are shown in the table. Do the data provide sufficient evidence to support the theory that average amount of alcohol in the blood after 2 hours is greater at high altitudes?
