(a) What are the values of a and ß? a = %3D (b) What is the probability that a student uses the terminal for at most 21 min? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

The next six questions refer to the following scenario: A random sample of 25 students were asked to self-identify as "statistics-lovers" or "statistics-adorers." 16 students self-identified as "lovers" and 9 students as "adorers." Below table summarizes the mean of a statistics test and standard deviation that was given after the self-identification. Test the following hypothesis at alpha=5% (0.05). HO: Mean Statistics Lovers = Mean Statistics Adorers HA: Mean Statistics Lovers Mean Statistics Adorers You can assume equal variance.
