Utilizing the "Blood Alcohol Content by Fraternity or Sorority" dataset file, you wish to determine whether there is a statistically significant mean difference in the blood alcohol content of their last drinking episode (BAC) of fraternity and sorority members from that of the rest of your sample (non-members). Please do a hypothesis test at $\alpha = .05$ using the "two-sample t-test assuming equal variances" in the Toolpak within Excel.

You are conducting a study to test whether there is a difference in the mean number of alcoholic drinks consumed per evening between the following groups: freshmen who live on campus (sample 1) and freshmen who live off campus (sample 2). Your results will be presented to the Dean of Students so that safety tips and prevention measures can be implemented for the appropriate groups. For freshmen who live on campus (N = 25), their mean number of drinks is 6.2, and their standard deviation is 2. For freshmen who live off campus (N = 30), their mean number of drinks is 3.8, and their standard deviation is 1. (a) Please identify independent variable and dependent variable. (b) Please write the research hypothesis and null hypothesis for this question (note: make sure it is the two-tailed test) (c) Which test statistic should you use? (e.g., two sample independent T-test, ANOVA, chi-square, or correlation)? (d) Compute the appropriate test statistic (Note: please show all your work) (e) In full sentences, please make a decision AND interpret your results when α = .05 for a two-tailed test. In your answer, please include critical test statistics from the proper distribution chart.

Many people believe that gender, weight, drinking habits, and many other factors are much more important in predicting blood alcohol content (BAC) than simply considering the number of drinks a person consumed. Here we examine data from ten student volunteers at Ohio State University who each consumed a randomly assigned number of cans of beer. These students were evenly divided between men and women, and they differed in weight and drinking habits. Thirty minutes later, a police officer measured their blood alcohol content (BAC) in grams of alcohol per deciliter of blood. What is the problem with using your regression equation to predict the BAC of similar students after drinking 30 cans of beer? What are these types of predictions called? The scatterplot and regression table summarize the findings. BAC (grams/deciliter) 0.15 0.10 0.05 2 4 6 8 The correlation coefficient for the number of cans of beer and BAC is 0.89. Calculate and interpret it in context.
