### Analysis of Volleyball Players' Performance Over Their Collegiate Careers

**Overview:**
In college sports, student-athletes have the opportunity to compete across four seasons. As athletes mature physically and develop their skills further through experience, it is generally observed that their playing time increases from their first year to their fourth year. This study focuses on comparing the number of sets played by female volleyball players in their first and fourth years of competition.

**Population Definitions:**
- **Population 1:** All female volleyball players in their fourth year of competition.
- **Population 2:** All female volleyball players in their first year of competition.

**Objective:**
The main goal is to estimate the difference in the mean number of sets played by all female volleyball players in their fourth year compared to their first year.

**Methodology:**
A simple random sample of 8 female volleyball players was selected. For each player, the number of sets played in their first and fourth years were recorded. The data collected is assumed to follow a normal distribution.

**Data:**
The table below presents the number of sets played by each student in their first and fourth years, including the respective means and standard deviations.

| Student | Fourth Year | First Year | Difference |
|---------|-------------|------------|------------|
| 1       | 61          | 23         | 38         |
| 2       | 54          | 51         | 3          |
| 3       | 83          | 48         | 35         |
| 4       | 49          | 34         | 15         |
| 5       | 92          | 75         | 17         |
| 6       | 69          | 48         | 21         |
| 7       | 72          | 17         | 55         |
| 8       | 96          | 84         | 12         |

|          | Mean       | Standard Deviation |
|----------|------------|---------------------|
| Fourth year | 72.00      | 17.24               |
| First year  | 47.50      | 23.34               |
| Difference  | 24.50      | 16.90               |

**Interpreting the Data:**
- **Mean Values:** Athletes in their fourth year played more sets (mean of 72.00) compared to their first year (mean of 47
