Can you please help me with this question?.

Watch the film from time stamp 12:19 minutes to 13:32 minutes. Pause when Dr. Jablonski says, “That is what melanin does. In this segment of the film, Dr. Jablonski references a paper she had read about the connection between UV exposure and the essential nutrient folate (a B vitamin), which circulates throughout the body in the blood. The paper, published in 1978, describes how the serum (blood) folate concentrations differed between two groups of light-skinned people. You will now look at one of the figures from that paper. Figure 3. Folate Levels in Two Groups of People. In one group (“patients"), 10 individuals were exposed to intense UV light for at least 30–60 minutes once or twice a week for three months. Sixty-four individuals not receiving this treatment |("normal") served as the control group. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (p < 0.005). Brackets represent the standard error of the mean, and |"ng/mL" means “nanograms per milliliter." |(Republished with permission of the American Assn for the Advancement of Science, from Skin color and nutrient photolysis: an evolutionary hypothesis, Branda, RF and Eaton, JW, 201:4356, |1978; permission conveyed through Copyright Clearance Center, Inc.) 10 2 Normals (N =64) PatientS (N=10) Serum folate (ng/ml)
