Problem 3: Hypothesis testing (10 Points)

For this problem, collect data on any variables of interest (sample size for each group of the two groups n=>30) and perform a two-sided significance test for comparing two independent population means. You can also simulate your own data.

Address the following:

a. A brief introductory paragraph describing the problem.

b. Set up your framework in a null and alternative hypothesis using symbols and notation as they are presented in the textbook.

c. A paragraph describing how you collected the data (i.e., the number of observations, time of day, etc. Please present the data in a table. Also, in this section, plot the means of the two samples using Excel.

d. A section explaining the results of the analysis (calculated statistics, and p-values). Based on what you find, state your decision (whether you reject or fail to reject the H0) and conclusion (whether you have sufficient or insufficient evidence for H1).

e. Describe how would you change the experimental design to become dependent or related samples?
