Let group 1 be the males and let group 2 be the females.

Symbols provided:
- Equals (=)
- Not equals (≠)
- Less than (<)
- Greater than (>)
- Mean (μ)
- Mean of group 1 (μ₁)
- Mean of group 2 (μ₂)
- Proportion (p)
- Proportion of group 1 (p₁)
- Proportion of group 2 (p₂)
- Minus (−)
- Correlation coefficient (ρ)
- Sample mean (x̅)
- Sample mean of group 1 (x̅₁)
- Sample mean of group 2 (x̅₂)
- Sample proportion (p̂)
- Sample proportion of group 1 (p̂₁)
- Sample proportion of group 2 (p̂₂)
- Sample correlation coefficient (r)

Hypotheses:
- Null Hypothesis (H₀): [Place symbols from the selection]
- Alternative Hypothesis (Hₐ): [Place symbols from the selection]
