Alcohol and Altitude The effect of alcohol consumption on the body appears to be much greater at high altitudes than at sea level. To test this theory, a scientist randomly selects 12 subjects and randomly divides them into two groups of six each. One group is put into a chamber that simulates conditions at an altitude of 12,000 feet, and each subject ingests a drink containing 100 cubic centimeters (cc) of alcohol. The second group receives the same drink in a chamber that simulates conditions at sea level. After 2 hours, the amount of alcohol in the blood (grams per 100 cc) for each subject is measured. The data are shown in the table. Do the data provide sufficient evidence to support the theory that average amount of alcohol in the blood after 2 hours is greater at high altitudes?
