(using R)The iris data set in R gives the measurements in centimeters of the variables sepal length and width andpetal length and width, respectively, for 50 flowers from each of 3 species of iris, setosa, versicolor, andvirginica. Use the iris data set and the t.test function, test if the mean of pepal length of iris flowers isgreater than the mean of sepal length.The iris data set in R gives the measurements in centimeters of the variables sepal length and width andpetal length and width, respectively, for 50 flowers from each of 3 species of iris, setosa, versicolor, andvirginica.
