(Steps Shown) 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:
Ho: u1= u2
Ha: u1≠u2
- What is the decision rule? When will you reject Ho? Make a statement such as: Reject Ho if t > the critical value. You must indicate the specific critical value for this problem.)
- What is the value of the test statistic?
- What is your decision regarding Ho? (Reject or Do Not Reject Ho?)
