A researcher is interested in the average resting heart rates of elite athletes versus non-elite athletes. The researcher wants to see if the average resting heart rates of elite athletes is lower than average resting heart rates of non-elite athletes. The researcher randomly sampled 45 elite athletes and 60 non-elite athletes. The average resting heart rate of the elite athletes was 46 bpm with a standard deviation of 14 bpm while the average resting heart rate of the non-elite athletes was 53 bpm with a standard deviation of 13 bpm. Assume the population standard deviations cannot be assumed equal. Perform a hypothesis test at a .05 level of significance.
