Case 5: Description

It is hypothesized that average performance of female students is better than male students in the subject of Mathematics of HSC examination. To test the claim a student randomly selects 8 male and 8 female students from his class and records the marks in Mathematics. Following are the marks in Mathematics of selected students:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Student No:                1          2          3          4          5          6          7          8

Male student               65        72        61        56        76        81        63        85

Female student            85        81        76        61        72        56        63        100
