Exam 10: Independent Groups T-Test

A physical therapist is interested in whether people with different bone structures will be affected differently by her new therapy program.She randomly chooses two groups of patients based on bone type: small-boned frame (X_S)and large-boned frame (X_L).Patients all had similar injuries.She measures the number of days each person takes to progress to a predetermined point.Here is the data: What are the critical values of t if the alpha level is .05?
