The mean ± 1 sd of In [calcium intake (mg)] among 25 females, 12 to 14 years of age, below the poverty level is 6.56 + 0.64. Similarly, the mean ±1 sd of In [calcium intake (mg)]among 40 females, 12 to 14 years of age, above the poverty level is 6.80 018 ±.76.
What is the appropriate procedure to test a significant difference in means between the two groups? Use the critical -value method.
