A researcher compared pockets in men’s and women’s jeans of the same size waistband. According to their data, the 38 women’s jean pockets had an average height of 15.20 cm, with a standard deviation of 2.65 cm, and the 44 men’s jeans had an average height of 16.75cm, with a standard deviation of 3.21 cm. Is this sufficient evidence at the 5% significance level to conclude that the men’s jeans’ pockets are significantly larger than the women’s? Do not round intermediate calculations.
