Education influences attitude and lifestyle. Differences in education are a big factor in the "generation gap." Is the younger generation really better educated? Large surveys of people age 65 and older were taken in n1 = 33 U.S. cities. The sample mean for these cities showed that x1 = 15.2% of the older adults had attended college. Large surveys of young adults (age 25 - 34) were taken in n2 = 34 U.S. cities. The sample mean for these cities showed that x2 = 18.2% of the young adults had attended college. From previous studies, it is known that σ1 = 6.6% and σ2 = 5.2%. Does this information indicate that the population mean percentage of young adults who attended college is higher? Use α = 0.05. (a) What is the level of significance? What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Test the difference μ1 − μ2. Round your answer to two decimal places.) (c) Find (or estimate) the P-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
