Question

ou wish to test the following claim (Ha) at a significance level of α=0.005.

Ho:μ1=μ2
Ha:μ1≠μ2

You believe both populations are normally distributed, but you do not know the standard deviations for either, and you have no reason to believe the variances of the two populations are equal. You obtain a sample of size n1=18 with a mean of M1=81.6 and a standard deviation of SD1=8.2 from the first population. You obtain a sample of size n2=23 with a mean of M2=88.9 and a standard deviation of SD2=5.8 from the second population.

What is the test statistic for this sample? (Report answer accurate to two decimal places.)
