Imported Wine Domestic Wine
X 7.03 9.78

n 15 16
40. What is the test value? Use a = 0.05. (Use the variances unequal formula)
A) –4.53 B) –2.54 C) –2.50 D) –6.97

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
t = [(x1bar-x2bar)-(u1 - u2)]/[sqrt[s1^2/n1 + s2^2/n2]
df = smaller of n1-1 and n2-1
===================================
Note: I ran a 2-SampleT test on my TI-84 calculator
and got a test statistic of t = -2.5372
==========================================
