Discussion: Based off of the data taken from the sample, we rejected to fail the null

hypothesis with a p-value of 0.935 from Appendix C. This is due to the sample mean
of around 34 from the total hours of coffee drinkers and non-coffee drinkers. Though
there is a large standard deviation, the standard deviations have a difference of
1.23 creating a closer p-value from Appendix A. The major concern is the sample
size bias. The histogram of coffee drinkers from Appendix B is skewed right and
though the histogram of non-coffee drinkers is somewhat normal, there is still some
skewness to the right from the data. This is caused by the number of coffee
drinkers. Because the number of coffee samples is between 15 and 40 with a
sample size of 28, the data should be unimodal and symmetric as seen from the
sample data in Appendix D. The sample size of non-coffee drinkers is greater than
40 and its data of is okay with the sample size of 77. There should be more samples
collected to increase the sample size for coffee drinkers. Though the sample size
assumption cannot completely fulfilled, the relatively close sample means and large
standard deviations can tell us that there is no difference between coffee drinkers
and non-drinkers due to the large p-value and the sampling variability issues.
