A social scientist suspected that females tend to feel more stressful in life as compared to males. As such, he devised an instrument to assess a person's stress level. The result of the test ranges from 0 to 400 points. A higher point means the person feels more stressful. This instrument was used on 46 males and 51 females who volunteered for the test. The dataset is as follows:-
