The ages of undergraduate students at two universities (one in the east and one in the west) are being compared. Researchers want to know if there is a difference in the mean age of students at the two universities. The population standard deviations are known. The following data shows the results of samples collected at each institution: School Location n sample mean population std. dev. West 33 26.78 6.29 East 35 23.16 7.52 What is the value of the test statistic for this problem? what is the p-value? what is the decision (reject or do not reject the null hypothesis?
