Resting pulse rates for a random sample of 26 smokers had a mean of 80 beats per minute (bpm) and a standard deviation of 5 bpm. Among 32 randomly chosen nonsmokers, the mean and standard deviation were 74 and 6 bpm. Both sets of data were roughly symmetric and had no outliers.
What is the parameter and its definition?

Based on the p-value, we should

Reject the null. There is not evidence of a significant difference in the mean pulse rates of smokers and nonsmokers.

Reject the null. There is evidence of a significant difference in the mean pulse rates of smokers and nonsmokers.

Fail to reject the null. There is not evidence of a significant difference in the mean pulse rates of smokers and nonsmokers.

Fail to reject the null. There is evidence of a significant difference in the mean pulse rates of smokers and nonsmokers.

If we want our results for our interval (95% confidence) and hypothesis test (2-sided alternative) to be consistent, what alpha level should we use for our hypothesis test?

Here are the saturated fat content (in grams) for several pizzas sold by two national chains. Is there a significant difference in the fat content of the brands? How big is the difference? Be sure that in checking the conditions, you plot both sets of data.
Complete a full hypothesis test. I'd recommend doing it on paper, taking a picture, and putting it on the "show your work" board.

Watch the video below to see how to check the nearly normal condition with your calculator and do all the "mechanics" for a 2-sample t-test and a 2-sample t-interval.

Watch this video for a rather sloppy and half-hearted explanation of the 2-sample t-test and 2-sample t-interval.
