### Hypothesis Testing: Difference Between Two Means (Independent Samples)

#### Problem:
Do men take a different amount of time than women to get out of bed in the morning? The 51 men observed averaged 7.4 minutes to get out of bed after the alarm rang. Their standard deviation was 1.5. The 41 women observed averaged 8 minutes and their standard deviation was 1.9 minutes. What can be concluded at the \(\alpha = 0.05\) level of significance?

#### Solution Steps:

a. **Selection of Test:**
   For this study, we should use: 
   - [ Drop-down box ] 
  
   (The drop-down box should contain options like "Two-sample t-test", "Paired t-test", "One-sample t-test", and others.)

b. **Formulation of Hypotheses:**
   The null and alternative hypotheses would be:
   \[
   H_0: 
   \]
   - [ Drop-down box ]
   \[
   \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 0  \quad \text{(please enter a decimal)}
   \]
   \[
   H_1: 
   \]
   - [ Drop-down box ]
   \[
   \mu_1 - \mu_2 \neq 0  \quad \text{(Please enter a decimal)}
   \]

c. **Calculation of Test Statistic:**
   \[
   \text{The test statistic} \, (t) = 
   \]
   - [ Text box ] 
   (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.)

d. **Determination of P-value:**
   \[
   \text{The p-value} = 
   \]
   - [ Text box ]
   (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.)

e. **Conclusion:**
   \[
   \boxed{\text{Reject} \, H_0 \, \text{if} \, p \leq \alpha }
   \]
   - [ Text box with formatted statement ]

### Explanation of Variables and Calculations:

- **Sample Sizes**:
  - Number of men (\(n_1\)) = 51
  - Number of women (\(n_2\)) = 41

- **Sample Means**:
  - Mean time for men (\(\bar{x}_1\)) =
