Use the given statistics to complete parts​ (a) and​ (b). Assume that the populations are normally distributed.
​(a) Test whether
mu 1μ1greater than>mu 2μ2
at the
alphaαequals=0.01
level of significance for the given sample data.
​(b) Construct a
99​%
confidence interval about
mu 1μ1minus−mu 2μ2.

​(a) Identify the null and alternative hypotheses for this test.
 
 
A.
H0​:
mu 1μ1greater than>mu 2μ2
H1​:
mu 1μ1equals=mu 2μ2
 
B.
H0​:
mu 1μ1equals=mu 2μ2
H1​:
mu 1μ1less than<mu 2μ2
 
C.
H0​:
mu 1μ1less than<mu 2μ2
H1​:
mu 1μ1equals=mu 2μ2
 
D.
H0​:
mu 1μ1not equals≠mu 2μ2
H1​:
mu 1μ1equals=mu 2μ2
 
E.
H0​:
mu 1μ1equals=mu 2μ2
H1​:
mu 1μ1greater than>mu 2μ2
 
F.
H0​:
mu 1μ1equals=mu 2μ2
H1​:
mu 1μ1not equals≠mu 2μ2
 
Find the test statistic for this hypothesis test.
