    Angry Hypothesis Testing: Two samples

    If i have a sample for men and women

    how do i do this:

    Using the five-step hypothesis test approach, test to see if the Men have lower average times than the Women. Use the 0.01 level of significance for this test.

    Hi whatwhatwhat and welcome to the forum.

    I found these problems confusing as you must assume there is no difference between the two populations. That is called the null hypothisis or H sub zeor. I always found the opposite *** different . Then using this 5 step approach you find there is only 1% chance that your assumption is possible. The reason for the 1% is that using probability it is not a good chance but possible. It is like a coin toss comming up heads 10 times in a row is possible but not very likely.
