Question

I am doing a project for statistics and needed some clarification on the questions being asked.

1) Female height vs. male height
            b) What method(s) of analysis may be appropriate for comparing female heights to male heights,
            given the sample drawn? Explain.
            c) Does it appear that the typical male COD student has a height that is similar to that of the
            typical male in the USA? Explain.
            d) Does it appear that the typical female COD student has a height that is similar to that of the
            typical female in the USA? Explain.

What kind of tests should I be doing for these questions?
