A researcher was interested in comparing the resting pulse rates of people who exercise regularly and people who do not exercise regularly. Independent simple random samples were obtained of 16 people who do not exercise regularly and 12 people who do exercise regularly. The resting pulse rate (in beats per minute) of each person was recorded. The summary statistics are as follows.
Do Not Exercise - Do Exercise
x1 = 73.4 beats/min - x2 = 69.7 beats/min
s1 = 10.3 beats/min - s2 = 8.6 beats/min
n1 = 16 - n2 = 12
test the claim that he difference between the mean pulse rate of people who do not exercise regularly is higher than the mean pulse rate of people who exercise regularly.



Answer :

We Reject H₀ if t calculated > t tabulated and hence the mean pulse rate of people who do not exercise regularly is higher than the mean pulse rate of people who exercise regularly

We Reject H₀ if t calculated > t tabulated

But in this case,

0.83 is not greater than 2.056

Therefore, we failed to reject H₀

There is no difference between the mean pulse rate of people who do not exercise and the mean pulse rate of people who do exercise

The Null and Alternate hypothesis is given by

Null hypotheses = H₀: μ₁ = μ₂

Alternate hypotheses = H₁: μ₁ ≠ μ₂

The test statistic is given by

Where  is the sample mean of people who do not exercise regularly.

Where  is the sample mean of people who do exercise regularly.

Where  is the sample standard deviation of people who do not exercise regularly.

Where  is the sample standard deviation of people who do exercise regularly.

Where  is the sample size of people who do not exercise regularly.

Where  is the sample size of people who do exercise regularly.

The given level of significance is

1 - 0.95 = 0.05

The degree of freedom is

df = 16 + 12 - 2 = 26

From the t-table, df = 26 and significance level 0.05,

t = 2.056 (two-tailed)

Conclusion:

We Reject H₀ if t calculated > t tabulated
