A dear friend friend of yours , who is a strong advocate of sedentary lifestyle has approached

He is of the opinion that an active lifestyle does not affect the body fat percentage. To test his
and seeks your help.
P.S: This exercise is not sponsored by any popular fitness groups.

NULL An active lifestyle does not affect the body fat percentage
ALT An active lifestyle does affect the body fat percentage

We do a t-test (inequal variance)

if, t Stat < t critical two-tail or t Stat > t critical teo-tail, we reject the null hypothesis.
In this case, t Stat < t critical two-tail so we reject the null hypothesis.

So, as we have rejected the null hypothesis, we can say that active lifestyle does affect on body fat percenta

if F > F Critical one-tail, we reject the null hypothesis.

In this cas,

Therefore, We reject the null hypothesis.
