Question
A statistician wants to determine if there is a significant difference in the average height of male and female college students. He collects a random sample of 100 males and 100 females and calculates their heights (in cm). The sample mean height for males is 175 cm and the sample mean height for females is 165 cm. The sample standard deviation for males is 6 cm and the sample standard deviation for females is 5 cm. Conduct an independent samples t-test to determine if there is a significant difference in the average height between males and females at a significance level of 0.05.
