Suppose a researcher is interested in the effectiveness in a new childhood exercise program implemented in a SRS of schools across a particular county. In order to test the hypothesis that the new program decreases BMI (Kg/m2), the researcher takes a SRS of children from schools where the program is employed and a SRS from schools that do not employ the program and compares the results. Assume the following table represents the SRSs of students and their BMIs. Student Intervention Group: Group 1BMI(kg/m2)Student Control Group: Group 2BMI(kg/m2) A18.6A21.6 B18.2B18.9 C19.5C19.4 D18.9D22.6 E24.1 F23.6 Assuming that all the necessary conditions are met (normality, independence, etc.) carry out the appropriate statistical test to determine if the new exercise program could decrease BMI (Kg/m2).
