Test the hypothesis at 5% of significant level that male students who participate in college athletics are taller than other male students. a) What statistical test to be used? As we have already known the standard deviation value of the population, it is easy to compute the variance as: V1 = sd12 = 2.52 = 6.25 V2 = sd22 = 2.82 = 7.84 From the above information, the statistical test should be used to solve this problem is two-tailed b) Execute the statistical test to prove or disapprove the hypothesis.
