Age Comparison of Hockey Players
28 23
This report is testing to see which hockey team has the lower
29 24
average age. This test assumes the population is normally
40 29
distributed and that population variances are equal. The
22 19
hypothesis test is using an alpha of .05 to minimalize the chance
30 25
of any type one errors occurring. The population mean age of
24 25
Pittsburgh Penguins is 28.42307692 and the population mean
28 29
age of Philadelphia Flyers is 27.08333333.
37 24
Claim: The average age 31 28 of Pittsburgh Penguin players is less
than the average age of 30 31 Philadelphia Flyers.

With this information, we can compare the critical value and our standardized test statistic to
determine if we will reject or fail to reject our claim. Our value of 1.329797295 does not lie
within our rejection region of -1.734063529. With this data, the test can conclude by rejecting
the claim. There is not enough evidence to support the claim that Penguins players age average is
lower than ages of Flyers players.
