Question

A study of fox rabies in a country gave the following information about different regions and the occurrence of rabies in each region. A random sample of

n1 = 16

locations in region I gave the following information about the number of cases of fox rabies near that location.

x1:
  Region I Data
2 8 8 8 6 8 8 1
3 3 3 2 5 1 4 6

A second random sample of

n2 = 15

locations in region II gave the following information about the number of cases of fox rabies near that location.

x2:
  Region II Data
1 1 5 1 4 8 5 4
4 4 2 2 5 6 9  
(i) Use a calculator with sample mean and sample standard deviation keys to calculate x1 and s1 in region I, and x2 and s2 in region II. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)
x1 =
s1 =
x2 =
s2 =

(ii) Does this information indicate that there is a difference (either way) in the mean number of cases of fox rabies between the two regions? Use a 5% level of significance. (Assume the distribution of rabies cases in both regions is mound-shaped and approximately normal.)
(a) What is the level of significance?What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Test the difference μ1 − μ2. Do not use rounded values. Round your final answer to three decimal places.)
