A political science teacher wonders whether there is a difference in knowledge of current events between students who read newspapers and those who watch the news on television.  He randomly assigns students to one of two groups.  Group 1 is instructed to read only the daily newspapers for the next 30 days, whereas group 2 is instructed to only watch the nightly news.  Both groups are thereafter given a test to assess their knowledge of current events.  Assume that the two populations are normally distributed and that the standard deviations of the two populations are not known and not equal.
