Question

A random sample of

n₁ = 49

measurements from a population with population standard deviation

?₁ = 5

had a sample mean of

x₁ = 8.

An independent random sample of

n₂ = 64

measurements from a second population with population standard deviation

?₂ = 6

had a sample mean of

x₂ = 11.

Test the claim that the population means are different. Use level of significance 0.01.

(a) Check Requirements: What distribution does the sample test statistic follow? Explain.

The standard normal. We assume that both population distributions are approximately normal with unknown standard deviations.The Student's t. We assume that both population distributions are approximately normal with unknown standard deviations. The Student's t. We assume that both population distributions are approximately normal with known standard deviations.The standard normal. We assume that both population distributions are approximately normal with known standard deviations.

(b) State the hypotheses.

H₀: ?₁ = ?₂; H₁: ?₁ > ?₂H₀: ?₁ ≠ ?₂; H₁: ?₁ = ?₂ H₀: ?₁ = ?₂; H₁: ?₁ < ?₂H₀: ?₁ = ?₂; H₁: ?₁ ≠ ?₂

x₁ − x₂.

x₁ − x₂ =

Compute the corresponding sample distribution value. (Test the difference ?₁ − ?₂. Round your answer to two decimal places.)

(d) Find the P-value of the sample test statistic. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
