Ages of Homes Whiting, Indiana leads the "Top 100  Cities with the Oldest Houses" list with the average age of houses being 

66.4 years. Farther down the list resides Franklin, Pennsylvania, with an average house age of 59.4  years. Researchers selected a random sample of 22  houses from Whiting and 
19  houses from Franklin and obtained the following statistics. At 
α=0.05, can it be concluded that the houses in Whiting are older? Use the P-value method. Assume the variables are normally distributed and the variances are unequal.

 

  Whiting Franklin
Mean age (in years)
61.6
59.7
Standard deviation (in years)
5.4
3.9

Use μ1 for the average age of houses in Whiting.

 (a) State the hypotheses and identify the claim.

H0: claim/not claim 

H1: claim/not claim

This hypothesis test is a one-tailed/two-tailed test.

 (b) Compute the test value. Round the answer to at least three decimal places.

t=

(c) Find the interval for the P-value.

The correct interval is

 (d) Make the decision.

Reject/do not reject the null hypothesis.

(e) Summarize the results.

There is/is not enough evidence to support the claim that the houses in Whiting are older.
