Name. — AP Statisties: Hypothesis Review w Qts: 1-4 : Aresearcher wished to test the effect of the addition of extra calcium to yogurt on the “tastiness of yogurt. A collection of 200 adult volunteers wes randomly divided into two groups of 100 subjects each. Group 1 tasted the yogurt containing the extra calcium. Group 2 tasted yogurt From the same batch as group 1 but without the added calcium, Both groups rated the flavor ona scale of 1 to 10,1 being "very unpleasant" and 10 being "very pleasent." The mean rating for group 1 was, =[Link] a ‘standard deviation s, =1.5. The mean rating for group 2 was Z, = 7.0 with a standard deviation s, = 2.0. ‘Assume the two groups are independent. Let 1, and sz represent the mean ratings we would observe For the entire population represented by the volunteers if all members of this population tasted, respectively, he yogurt with and without the added calcium 1.
