Refer to Data Set 1 “Body Data” and use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that women and men have the same mean diastolic blood pressure.

Use the indicated Data Sets in Appendix B. The complete data sets can be found at www.TriolaStats.com. Assume that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally distributed populations. Do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal.
