Test the claim about the difference between two population means m1 and m2 at the level of significance a. Assume the samples are random and independent, and the populations are normally distributed. If convenient, use technology.11.Claim:
m1=m2; a=0.1.Population statistics: s1=3.4 and s2=1.5Sample statistics: x1=16, n1=29 and x2=14, n2=28
2. Let x be a random variable that represents the concentration of iron in water. The EPA specifies that
x has a normal distribution with o = 0.7. The company claims that the iron concentration population
mean is u = 2.0 downstream from the plant. But 10 samples taken downstream from an industrial
plant show an X = 2.48.
