Question

Listed in the data table are amounts of strontium-90 (in millibrcquerels or mBq, per gram of calcium) in a simple random sample of baby teeth obtained from residents in two cities. Assume that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally distributed populations. Do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal. Use a 0.10 significance level to test the claim that the mean amount of strontium-90 from city #1 residents is greater than the mean amount from city #2 residents. Find the test statistic, p value, and confidence interval

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
