Researchers are interested in whether long distance swimmers' heart rate differs from long distance runner's. They select 8 long-distance swimmers randomly, and calculate their heart rate as shown in table 3.
TABLE 3
HEART RATE (BEATS PER MINUTE) | 46 | 52 | 64 | 55 | 48 | 59 | 58 |
66 |
The average heart rate of long distance runner in the general population is 60 beats per minute. Test the null hypothesis at the α=0.05 level of significance.
