The mean body mass index (BMI) for these men was 22.41 with a standard deviation of 1.27. A sample of 24 male rugby players had a mean BMI of 27.75 with a standard deviation of 2.64. Is there sufficient evidence for one to claim that, in general, rugby players have a higher BMI than the multisport men? Let a 1⁄4 :01.
