Problem 2: Please answer parts a, b, c, d An observational study of Alzheimer's disease (AD) obtained data from 16 AD patients exhibiting moderate dementia and selected a group of 10 control individuals without AD. AD is a progressive neurodegenerative disease of the elderly and advancing age is known to be a primary risk factor in AD diagnosis. Therefore, it was crucial for the study's credibility to examine whether the ages in the AD group might be significantly different than in the control group. The ages of the subjects in years are summarized in the R Output below. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Descriptive Statistics: Alzheimers, Control Variable N N* Mean SE Mean StDev Minimum Q1 Median Q3 Maximum Alzheimers 16 0 79.76 1.67 6.68 77.00 79.25 87.00 92.25 93.00 Control 10 0 67.42 4.10 12.97 54.00 56.00 65.00 82.00 89.00

We want to test if the average age in the Alzheimer's group is significantly different than the control group. Assume that the population variances are not equal.
Definition Definition Middle value of a data set. The median divides a data set into two halves, and it also called the 50th percentile. The median is much less affected by outliers and skewed data than the mean. If the number of elements in a dataset is odd, then the middlemost element of the data arranged in ascending or descending order is the median. If the number of elements in the dataset is even, the average of the two central elements of the arranged data is the median of the set. For example, if a dataset has five items—12, 13, 21, 27, 31—the median is the third item in ascending order, or 21. If a dataset has six items—12, 13, 21, 27, 31, 33—the median is the average of the third (21) and fourth (27) items. It is calculated as follows: (21 + 27) / 2 = 24.
