According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) sponsored by the U.S. government, a random sample of 712 males between 20 and 29 years of age and a random sample of 1,001 males over the age of 75 were chosen and the weight of each of the males were recorded (in kg). Do the data provide evidence that the younger male population weighs more (on average) than the older male population? Use “Y” for ages 20-29 and “S” for ages 75+. It was found that x̅Y=83.4, sY=18.7, x̅S=78.5, and sS=19.0.


A) What are the correct null and alternative hypotheses?



B)What is the parameter of interest?




The difference between the mean weight of all males ages 20-29 and the mean weight of all males ages 75+



The mean weight (in kg)



The difference between the mean weight of the sample of males ages 20-29 and the mean weight of the sample of males ages 75+



The mean difference between the weights of males ages 20-29 and males ages 75+



c)Is the randomness condition met for this test? if so why?
