#5
A medical researcher wants to compare the pulse rates of smokers and non-smokers.
He believes that the pulse rate for smokers and non-smokers is different and wants to
test this claim at the 0.05 level of significance. A sample of 52 smokers has a mean
pulse rate of 78, and a sample of 64 non-smokers has a mean pulse rate of 74. The
population standard deviation of the pulse rates is known to be 8 for smokers and 7 for
non-smokers. Let u, be the true mean pulse rate for smokers and µ, be the true mean
pulse rate for non-smokers.
5.

Step 1. State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test.
Answer:
Jsb eint eu
Step 2. Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal
places.
Answer:
Step 3. Find the p-value associated with the test statistic. Round your answer to four
decimal places.
Answer: p =.
Step 4. Make the decision for the hypothesis test.
A) Reject Null Hypothesis
B) Fail to Reject Null Hypothesis
