A study was done on the body temperatures of men and women. The results are shown in the table. Assume that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally distributed? populations, and do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal. Complete parts? (a) and? (b) below.

Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that men have a higher mean body temperature than women.

a. What are the null and alternative hypotheses?

The test statistic, t, is

The P-value is

State the conclusion for the test.

b. Construct a confidence interval suitable for testing the claim that the two samples are from populations with the same mean.

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.
