College Students and Drinking Habits: A public health official is studying differences in drinking habits among students at two different universities. They collect a random sample of students independently from each of the two universities and ask each student how many alcoholic drinks they consumed in the previous week.

The official conducts a two-sample t-test to determine whether these data provide significant evidence that students at University 1 drink more than students at University 2. The test statistic is t = 2.64 with a P-value 0.005.

Which of the following is an appropriate conclusion?
