Show transcribed image text The mean number of English courses taken in a two-year time period by male and female college students is believed to be about the same. An experiment is conducted and data are collected from 29 males and 16 females. The males took an average of two English courses with a standard deviation of 0.7. The females took an average of three English courses with a standard deviation of 0.9. Are the means statistically the same?
