### Hypothesis Tests for the Difference Between Two Population Means

A real estate agent believes that the mean home price in the northern part of a county is higher than the mean price in the southern part of the county and would like to test the claim. A simple random sample of housing prices is taken from each region. The results are shown below.

#### Data Summary:
|                            | Southern | Northern |
|----------------------------|----------|----------|
| **Mean**                   | 155.056  | 168.889  |
| **Variance**               | 345.938  | 560.928  |
| **Observations**           | 18       | 18       |
| **Pooled Variance**        | 453.433  |          |
| **Hypothesized Mean Difference** | 0        |          |
| **Degrees of Freedom (df)**  | 34       |          |
| **t Stat**                 | 1.949    |          |
| **P(T<=t) one-tail**       | 0.030    |          |
| **t Critical one-tail**    | 2.441    |          |
| **P(T<=t) two-tail**       | 0.060    |          |
| **t Critical two-tail**    | 2.728    |          |
| **Confidence Level**       | 99%      |          |

#### Graph Explanation
The graph shown represents the distribution of the t-statistic. The t-statistic distribution is illustrated with a smooth curve, showcasing a peak at the mean of zero and two tails extending in the negative and positive directions.

- The x-axis represents the t-values ranging from -3 to 3.
- The y-axis represents the probability density.

Key points marked on the graph:
- The calculated t-value (t = 1.949) is shown towards the right side of the distribution.
- The areas under the curve in the tails represent the p-values for the one-tail and two-tail tests.

#### Additional Calculations:
- **Sample Size (n)**: Ex = 9
- **Degrees of Freedom (df)**: (Calculation needed)
- **Point Estimate for the Southern Part of the County (\( \bar{x}_1 \))**: Ex = 1.234
- **Point Estimate for the Northern Part of the County (\( \bar{x}_2 \))**: (Calculation needed)
