The most appropriate inferential statistic test in the present situation is the;

b. Two-sample t-test

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we have;

The number of subjects in each sample, n₁ = 100

The number of samples = 2

The nature of the test = To compare the two means

The value of the population standard deviation, σ = Unknown

From the given parameters, we have;

The t-test is a method of inferential statistics for determining whether the difference between the mean of two groups is significant, that is if the observed difference are due to chance, where the groups are likely to have some characteristics that are related

The t-test is utilized when testing an hypothesis, and it is used for small samples, where the population standard deviation is unknown

The types of t-test used are;

a) One-sample t-test

b) Two-sample t-test

c) Paired Sample t-test

Therefore, a two-sample t-test is most appropriate.
