- A researcher wishes to determine whether the systolic blood
pressure of people who follow a vegetarian diet is, on average,
lower than the systolic blood pressure of those who do not follow a
vegetarian diet. Independent simple random samples of 85 vegetarian
and 75 nonvegetarians yielded the following sample statistics:
 
| 
 Vegetarians 
 | 
 Nonvegetarians 
 | 
| 
 Mean = 124.1 
 | 
 Mean = 138.7 
 | 
| 
 s1 = 38.7 
 | 
 s2 = 39.2

Use the significance level of 0.01 to test the claim of the
researcher.
