Question

A random sample of 663 teens who said they did not typically eat fast food reported an average daily calorie intake of 2258, with standard deviation 1519. A random sample of 413 teens who said they did typically eat fast food reported an average daily calorie intake of 2637, with standard deviation 1138. The two populations are moderately positively skewed. Based on the above description, which of the following conditions are met for conducting a hypothesis test for the equality of two means?
a. Both samples are random
b. Samples are independent of one another
c. Both samples are normal enough given the sample size
d. Two population means need to be the same

Answer 1

Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample populations are independent of each other and hence for comparing of mean of two population it is very essential that the two populations independent of each other.

Now here one population set consist of only people who eat fast food and the other set of population consists of people who do not eat fast food.
