Perla · Answer

H0 is u = u1 H1 is u not equal to u2 But you have not specified the results of the test to check the hypothesis with!?!

PsyDAG · Answer

This experiment (as you state it) is faulty. You need to test hearing before and after eating to note the effect of the meals on hearing.

Also the scores are not given. For most, copy and paste does not work.
