Test the indicated claim about the means of two populations. Assume that the two samples are randomly selected, independent, the population standard deviations are not know and not considered equal. Subjects are given a creativity exercise on a computer with either a red background or a blue background. The scores are shown in the table. At the 0.01 significance level, test the claim that blue enhances performance on a creative task. Red Background Blue Background n1 = 41 n2 = 44 xˉx̄1 = 19.2 xˉx̄2 = 18.7 s1 = 0.88 s2 = 0.35 What are the correct hypotheses? (Select the correct symbols and use decimal values not percentages.)
