Researchers wished to know if they could conclude that two populations of infants (Groups A, B) differed with respect to the mean age at which they first walked alone. A random sample of 7 infants
from group A and 8 infants from group B gave the following data (ages in months).
Group A 8.2 10.5
Group B 12
13.5
9.5 11 10.5 11.5 12.5 13 12
10
12
11
Using a suitable hypothesis test, investigate at the 5% significance level to decide whether the mean age at which the infants first walked alone is different for the two groups.
