[Solution] A random sample of 55 observations from one population revealed a sample mean of 18 and a sample deviation of 3. A random sample of 58 observations
Question: A random sample of 55 observations from one population revealed a sample mean of 18 and a sample deviation of 3. A random sample of 58 observations from another population revealed a sample mean of 20 and a sample standard deviation of 4. At the .05 significance level, is there a difference between the population means? The null and alternative hypotheses are as follows:
H o : u 1 = u 2
H a :u 1 ≠ u 2
- What is the decision rule? (When will you reject H o ?)
- What is the value of the test statistic?
- What is your decision regarding H o ? (Reject or Do Not Reject H o ?)
