7. Hypothesis Testing: Practical 7
Introduction to Hypothesis Testing: Case study
Mitigation and adaptation to climate change are among the largest challenges of the 21st century. At the core of these challenges is the question of energy — more precisely, our overall energy consumption and our dependence on fossil fuels. To succeed in limiting global warming, we urgently need to use energy efficiently while embracing clean energy sources.
The (hypothetical) average energy consumption of a student is #1825# kWh per year, with a standard deviation of #285# kWh. You believe that the energy consumption of students in the environmental domain is lower than that of students in another domain.
