### Hypothesis Testing

Using the hypothesis below and a significance level of \( \alpha = 0.05 \):

- **Null Hypothesis (\(H_0\))**: \( \mu_2 - \mu_1 = 0 \)
- **Alternative Hypothesis (\(H_a\))**: \( \mu_2 - \mu_1 < 0 \)

Where group 2 is the non-anxious group and group 1 is the anxious group.

#### Steps:

##### a) Calculate the Test Statistic

**Instruction**: Compute the test statistic based on the sample data provided from the two groups. Generally, the test statistic for comparing two means can be calculated as:

\[
t = \frac{(\bar{X}_2 - \bar{X}_1) - 0}{\sqrt{s_1^2/n_1 + s_2^2/n_2}}
\]

Where:
- \(\bar{X}_2\) and \(\bar{X}_1\) are the sample means of group 2 and group 1, respectively.
- \(s_2\) and \(s_1\) are the sample standard deviations of group 2 and group 1, respectively.
- \(n_2\) and \(n_1\) are the sample sizes of group 2 and group 1, respectively.

**Note**: Use the data provided to compute these values if given.

##### b) Find the p-value

**Instruction**: Determine the p-value associated with the test statistic. This involves looking up the value in a t-distribution table or using software that calculates it based on the degrees of freedom.

##### c) State the Conclusion (in the context of the problem)

**Instruction**: Based on the calculated p-value, state whether you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis at the \( \alpha = 0.05 \) significance level. Conclude what this decision means in the context of the anxiety levels of the two groups.

**Example Conclusion**: 

- If \( p \leq \alpha \): Reject \( H_0 \). There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean of the non-anxious group is significantly lower than the mean of the anxious group.
- If \( p > \alpha \): Fail to reject \( H_0 \). There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a difference

### Study on Facial Expressions and Anxiety

A study on facial expression and anxiety was conducted to determine if anxious people exhibit more facial expressions than non-anxious people. The number of facial expressions exhibited in response to 25 emotional cues for 25 anxious subjects and 25 non-anxious subjects are shown in the table below (each group includes a different set of 25 people).

| Anxious | Non-Anxious |
|---------|-------------|
| 2       | 4           |
| 12      | 17          |
| 17      | 12          |
| 15      | 13          |
| 27      | 15          |
| 18      | 8           |
| 28      | 15          |
| 16      | 16          |
| 16      | 13          |
| 19      | 12          |

#### Explanation of Data

- **Columns:** Each column represents a different group of subjects.
  - The **Anxious** column lists the number of facial expressions made by each of the 25 anxious subjects.
  - The **Non-Anxious** column lists the number of facial expressions made by each of the 25 non-anxious subjects.

This data can be used to compare the average number of facial expressions exhibited by anxious versus non-anxious individuals, potentially revealing insights into how anxiety affects expressive behavior.
