Question

In a study of heart surgery, one issue was the effect of drugs called beta-blockers on the pulse rate of patients during surgery. The available subjects were divided at random into two groups of 30 patients each. One group received a beta-blocker; the other group received a placebo. The pulse rate of each patient at a critical point during the operation was recorded. The treatment group had a mean pulse rate of 65.2 and standard deviation 7.8. For the control group, the mean pulse rate was 70.3 and the standard deviation was 8.3. What is the probability that the difference in the samples (treatment group – placebo group) is greater than 0?

I'm guessing this is High School Math and my level is Middle School. Sorry I can't help you.
