The excel data are for the mean body and brain temperature ofsix ostriches was recorded at typical hot conditions. The results,in degrees Celsius.
Ostriches live in hot environments, and they are normallyexposed to the sun for long periods. Mammals in similarenvironments have special mechanism for reducing thetemperature.
- Test for a mean difference in temperature between body andbrain for these ostriches. Paste the statistics output fromexcel
- Find the test statistic, p-value
- Interpret the results to a person who do not knowstatistics
