STRESS LEVEL, HOURS OF SLEEP AND THEIR DREAM

students’ dream college major. The statistical method we decided to use is

comparing two populations from chapter 11. Chapter 11 is about comparing two

populations of two samples which are independently selected random samples from

the populations of interest and the sample sizes have to be large or the population

distribution is at least normal.
