You wish to test the following claim (Ha) at a significance level of α=0.005. Ho:μ1=μ2 Ha:μ1≠μ2 You believe both populations are normally distributed, but you do not know the standard deviations for either, and you have no reason to believe the variances of the two populations are equal. You obtain a sample of size n1=18 with a mean of M1=81.6 and a standard deviation of SD1=8.2 from the first population. You obtain a sample of size n2=23 with a mean of M2=88.9 and a standard deviation of SD2=5.8 from the second population. What is the test statistic for this sample? (Report answer accurate to two decimal places.) test statistic = What is the p-value for this sample? (Report answer accurate to four decimal places.) p-value = The p-value is... less than (or equal to) α greater than α This test statistic leads to a decision to... reject the null accept the null fail to reject the null As such, the final conclusion is that... There is sufficient evidence to reject the claim that the first population mean is not equal to the second population mean. There is not sufficient evidence to reject the claim that the first population mean is not equal to the second population mean.

What is the test statistic for this sample? (Report answer accurate to two decimal places.)
test statistic =
What is the p-value for this sample? (Report answer accurate to four decimal places.)
p-value =
The p-value is...
- less than (or equal to) α
- greater than α
This test statistic leads to a decision to...
- reject the null
- accept the null
- fail to reject the null
As such, the final conclusion is that...
- There is sufficient evidence to reject the claim that the first population mean is not equal to the second population mean.
- There is not sufficient evidence to reject the claim that the first population mean is not equal to the second population mean.
- There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the first population mean is not equal to the second population mean.
- There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the first population mean is not equal to the second population mean.
Given:
significance level of α=0.005.
Ho:μ1=μ2
Ha:μ1≠μ2
You believe both populations are normally distributed, but you do not know the standard deviations for either, and you have no reason to believe the variances of the two populations are equal.
sample of size n1=18 with a mean of M1=81.6 and a standard deviation of SD1=8.2 from the first population.
sample of size n2=23 with a mean of M2=88.9 and a standard deviation of SD2=5.8 from the second population.
