Consider the following competing hypotheses and accompanying sample data drawn independently from normally distributed populations.

Calculate the value of the test statistic under the assumption that the population variances are equal. (Negative values should be indicated by a minus sign. Round all intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places and final answer to 3 decimal places.) a-2.

Do you reject the null hypothesis at the 10% level? multiple choice 2 Yes, since the value of the p-value is less than the significance level. No, since the value of the p-value is less than the significance level. No, since the value of the p-value is greater than the significance level.
