Question

You wish to test the following claim (HaHa) at a significance level of α=0.10α=0.10.

Ho:μ1=μ2Ho:μ1=μ2
Ha:μ1<μ2Ha:μ1<μ2

You believe both populations are normally distributed, but you do not know the standard deviations for either. We will assume that the population variances are not equal.

You obtain a sample of size n1=18 with a mean of M1=62.6 and a standard deviation of SD1=13.2 from the first population. You obtain a sample of size n2=17 with a mean of M2=73.1 and a standard deviation of SD2=5.6 from the second population.

What is the test statistic for this sample? (Report answer accurate to three decimal places.)

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
