Question

A medical team was asked to study the difference in systolic blood pressure (BP) between men (µ1) and women (µ2) with heart trouble. The BP measurements are normally distributed. The variance of the men’s group is equal to that of the women’s group. For a random sample of 4 men, thesample average is 175 and the sample standard deviation is 16. For a random sample of 5 women, the sample average is 145 and the sample standard deviation is 12.

Assuming independent populations with equal variances, what is the value of the test statistic?

		6.16
		1.75
		3.23
		1.91

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
