A research question of interest is whether students who have smoked marijuana (Yes group) in the past 6 months study fewer hours on average per week than those who have not (No group).
A survey of a random sample of students at a university was taken on these two issues, which found the mean hours of study for the following 2 groups:
Sample size, n | mean hours of study | Standard deviation, | |
Yes, Used marijuana | 49 | 12.41 | 6.95 |
No use of marijuana | 150 | 15.53 | 8.79 |
Difference = mu (Yes) - mu (No )Calculate the value for the t-statistic for the difference between the two groups.
