Question
A physical therapist wanted to know whether the mean step pulse of men was less than the mean step pulse of women. She
randomly selected 50 men and 74 women to participate in the study. Each subject was required to step up and down a 6-inch
platform. The pulse of each subject was then recorded. The following results were obtained.

(a) State the null and alternative hypotheses. Which of the following is correct?
O A. Ho: H1 = H2; Ha: H1 > H2
B. Ho: H1 = H2; Ha: H1 <H2
O C. Ho: H1 = H2; Hgi H1# H2
(b) Identify the P-value and state the researcher's conclusion if the level of significance was a = 0.02. What is the P-value?
P-value = 0.0076
State the researcher's conclusion. Which of the following is correct?
O A. Fail to reject Ho, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean step pulse of men was less than the mean step pulse of women
O B. Reject Ho, there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean step pulse of men was less than the mean step pulse of women
c. Reject Ho, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean step pulse of men was less than the mean step pulse of women
O D. Fail to reject Ho, there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean step pulse of men was less than the mean step pulse of women
(c) What is the 95% confidence interval for the mean difference in pulse rates of men versus women?
The lower bound is
The upper bound is
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
