We can notice that the mean heights of first basemen is higher that that of second basemen. Thus, we may be tempted to conclude that **first basemen are higher than second basemen**.

In our case, p-value is very low, meaning that there is strong evidence supporting that first basemen are taller. In our case, p-value is very low, meaning that there is strong evidence supporting that first basemen are taller.

There are also different other types of hypothesis that we might want to test, for example: There are also different other types of hypothesis that we might want to test, for example:
* To prove that a given sample follows some distribution. In our case we have assumed that heights are normally distributed, but that needs formal statistical verification. * To prove that a given sample follows some distribution.
