Is there a difference in the amount of airborne bacteria between carpeted and uncarpeted rooms? In an experiment, five rooms were carpeted and five were left uncarpeted.

The data and summaries are provided:
mean | standard deviation | |
Carpeted rooms: | 184 | 27.0 |
Uncarpeted rooms: | 172 | 17.9 |
