A random sample of 16 adult male wolves from the Canadian Northwest Territories gave an average weight x1 = 96 lb with estimated sample standard deviation s1 = 6.7 lb. Another sample of 22 adult male wolves from Alaska gave an average weight x2 = 88 lb with estimated sample standard deviation s2 = 7.5 lb.
