Hypothesis
H0: There is no difference in mean resting heart rate between males and females.
H1: There is a difference in mean resting heart rate between males and females.
Analysis
t-stat is -1.469355384, which represents the calculated t-value.
p(T<=t) two-tail is 0.143323501 for a two-tailed test.
t-critical two-tail is 1.972017478 for a two-tailed test.

Interpretation
If the p-value is low then null hypothesis must be rejected (Greenland et al., 2016).
The p-value (0.1433) is greater than the commonly used significance level of 0.05.
This indicates that we fail to reject the null hypothesis.
In other words, at this significance level, the data does not provide enough evidence to
conclude that there is a statistically significant difference in the mean resting heart
rate between males and females.
