Answer 1

Type of Test conducted:

The t-test for independent samples is carried out. It was selected because the samples under consideration are independent.

Results obtained:

The test statistic is 1.84.

The p-value is 0.0745.

The mean of the sample for males is 5.

The mean of the sample for females is 4.

Conclusion:

Since the p-value is greater than the level of significance 0.05 or 0.01, do not reject the null hypothesis that there is no difference in males and females means.

The meaning of the data analysis is to check whether the difference between males and females exists or not but the context of the difference is not provided hence we cannot interpret it practically.
