Question

We are running a hypothesis test to see if weight of African zebras is significantly different than that of Arabian horses. We assume weight in both populations is normally distributed and both populations have the same population variance in weight which is unknown to us, so we use the sample variances to estimate the standard error for our calculations. We find 2.63 as the absolute value of our standardized test statistic for our sample data. Is this data significant at the .01 level of significance?

YES

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
