Two Means - Unknown, Unequal Variance
10. Hypothesis Testing for Two Samples / Two Means - Unknown, Unequal Variance / Problem 6
Problem 6

A nutritionist believes that the mean daily calorie intake is higher for athletes than for non-athletes. In a sample of 1616 athletes, the mean intake is 3,1503,150 calories with a standard deviation of 410410. In a sample of 2020 non-athletes, the mean intake is 2,9002,900 calories with a standard deviation of 350350. At α=0.05 α = 0.05 , is there enough evidence to support the nutritionist's belief? Assume population variances are not equal.
