µ1 = mean of the children's head circumferences

µ2 = mean of the children's head circumferences

To find out if the head circumferences of sixth-grade boys in primary school are larger, on average, than those of girls

A random sample of 17 boys and another of 15 girls was taken. Their head circumferences were measured and it was found that the mean in children was 48.8 cm. with a standard deviation of 0.5 cm. and that the mean in girls was 48.5 with a standard deviation of 0.4.

Can it be said, with α = 0.01, that the mean head circumference of boys is greater than that of girls?
