**Hypothesis Testing for Mean Diastolic Blood Pressure**

Consider \(\mu_1\) as the mean diastolic blood pressure for women and \(\mu_2\) as the mean diastolic blood pressure for men. We need to determine the null and alternative hypotheses regarding these means.

**Options for Null and Alternative Hypotheses:**

- **A.** 
  - \(H_0\): \(\mu_1 = \mu_2\)
  - \(H_1\): \(\mu_1 > \mu_2\)

- **B.**
  - \(H_0\): \(\mu_1 < \mu_2\)
  - \(H_1\): \(\mu_1 = \mu_2\)

- **C.**
  - \(H_0\): \(\mu_1 \neq \mu_2\)
  - \(H_1\): \(\mu_1 = \mu_2\)

- **D.**
  - \(H_0\): \(\mu_1 = \mu_2\)
  - \(H_1\): \(\mu_1 \neq \mu_2\)

**Statistical Analysis Steps:**

1. **Calculate the Test Statistic:**
   - \( t = \) [box for input] (Round to two decimal places as needed.)

2. **Find the P-value:**
   - P-value = [box for input] (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

3. **Make a Conclusion:**
   - Conclusion regarding \(H_0\): Select from a dropdown
   - There [dropdown for input] sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that women and men have the same mean diastolic blood pressure. 

**Note:** Fill in the calculations as needed on your study page.
