Question

The following data are the serum cholesterol level in male and female turtles, and assuming that both populations are following normal distribution.

(a) test the null hypothesis that male and female turtles have the same mean serum

cholesterol concentrations, assuming variances are equal.

cholesterol concentrations, assuming variances are NOT equal.

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.
