4.a Read the data
Load the titanic data file
ti1.df <- read.csv(paste("Titanic Data.csv", sep=""))
4.b to create a table showing the average age of the survivors and the average age of the people who died
aggregate(Age~Survived,data=ti1.df,FUN = mean)
## Survived Age
## 1 0 30.41530
## 2 1 28.42382
4.c to run a t-test to test the following hypothesis:
H2: The Titanic survivors were younger than the passengers who died.
t.test(Age~Survived, data = ti1.df)
##
## Welch Two Sample t-test
##
## data: Age by Survived
## t = 2.1816, df = 667.56, p-value = 0.02949
## alternative hypothesis: true difference in means is not equal to 0
## 95 percent confidence interval:
## 0.1990628 3.7838912
## sample estimates:
## mean in group 0 mean in group 1
## 30.41530 28.42382
the above pvalue proves that the hypothesis is correct.
