1. **State the problem:** We want to test if the average calorie burn per session for users with personalized workout plans ($M_1$) is higher than for users without personalized plans ($M_2$).
2. **Set hypotheses:**
$$H_0: M_1 - M_2 = 0$$
$$H_a: M_1 - M_2 > 0$$
3. **Given data:**
- Sample size with plan: $n_1 = 50$
- Sample mean with plan: $\bar{x}_1 = 300$
- Sample standard deviation with plan: $s_1 = 120$
- Sample size without plan: $n_2 = 60$
- Sample mean without plan: $\bar{x}_2 = 260$
- Sample standard deviation without plan: $s_2 = 90$
- Significance level: $\alpha = 0.05$
4. **Check conditions:**
- Random samples: confirmed
- Independent samples: confirmed
- Normality or large sample size: $n_1 > 30$ and $n_2 > 30$ satisfy Central Limit Theorem
5. **Test statistic formula for two-sample t-test:**
$$t = \frac{(\bar{x}_1 - \bar{x}_2) - (M_1 - M_2)}{\sqrt{\frac{s_1^2}{n_1} + \frac{s_2^2}{n_2}}}$$
6. **Calculate test statistic:**
$$t = 1.94$$ (given)
7. **Degrees of freedom:**
$$df = 89.4$$ (given)
8. **P-value:**
$$p = 0.027$$ (given)
9. **Decision:**
Since $p = 0.027 < \alpha = 0.05$, we reject the null hypothesis.
10. **Conclusion:**
There is significant evidence to suggest that the average calorie burn per session among users with personalized plans is higher than among those without personalized plans.
**Part b)**
11. **Type of error possible:**
Since we rejected $H_0$ when it might be true, the possible error is a **Type I error**.
12. **Explanation:**
A Type I error means concluding that personalized plans increase calorie burn when in fact there is no real difference in the population.
