A technician compares repair costs for two types of microwave ovens (type I and type II). He believes that the repair cost for type I ovens is greater than the repair cost for type II ovens. A sample of 60 type I ovens has a mean repair cost of $77.22, with a standard deviation of $22.46. A sample of 65 type II ovens has a mean repair cost of $73.73, with a standard deviation of $10.62. Conduct a hypothesis test of the technician's claim at the 0.1 level of significance. Let μ1 be the true mean repair cost for type I ovens and μ2 be the true mean repair cost for type II ovens. Step 2 of 4 : Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places
