Problem 2: Please answer parts a, b, c, d

An observational study of Alzheimer's disease (AD) obtained data from 16 AD patients exhibiting moderate dementia and selected a group of 10 control individuals without AD. AD is a progressive neurodegenerative disease of the elderly and advancing age is known to be a primary risk factor in AD diagnosis. Therefore, it was crucial for the study's credibility to examine whether the ages in the AD group might be significantly different than in the control group. The ages of the subjects in years are summarized in the R Output below.

We want to test if the average age in the Alzheimer's group is significantly different than the control group. Assume that the population variances are not equal.

(a) What is the null hypothesis?
(A) H0 : μ1 = μ2   (B) H0 : μ1 ≠ μ2   (C) H0 : μ1 ≥ μ2   (D) H0 : μ1 < μ2   (E) H0 : μ1 > μ2   (F) H0 : μ1 ≤ μ2
(b) Find the value of the test statistic.
(c) Find the 5% critical value.
(d) What is the conclusion of the hypothesis test?
