We have two samples of cats, n = 6 males and n = 6 females. Is there a significant difference in the weights of cats based on gender?
Male
14.8 10.1 15.6 10.7 9.6 11
Female
6.5 7.2 11 8.5 13.5 7.3
Conduct an independent sample t-test using a .05 level of significance.

This is an independent two samples t-test for equal variances
Let and be variables denoting male and female weights respectively.
Mean =
Standard deviation =
4.Var males= 6.571
5. Var dev females=7.376
Pooled variance =
6. Pooled variance=6.973
7. Standard error= 1.5246 .................. ( )
8. Mean difference= 2.967
9. t obtained= 1.946 ............ ()
Critical 2-tailed = ................ ()
Critical value = 2.228
Since T. obtained < Critical value,
10. decision= We do not reject null hypothesis and conclude that there is no significant diff between means at 0.05 level of significance.
11. d= Apologies but I couldn't interpret this
correlation coeff (r) =
r = -0.1388
12. = 0.0193
