If we are given the avg weight of males in one class of 50 students is 176 lbs. with a variance of 9 pounds and the avg weight of 36 males in a second class is 166 lbs with a varience of 12 pounds, perform a hypothesis test to see if the mean weight of males is different between the two classes. Use a=0.05.
i)Hypothesis
Ho: u1-u2 = 0
Ha: u1-u2 # 0
-----------------------
I ran a 2 Sample Z-Test with my TI-84 and got the following:
ii)Critical values:: z = +-1.96
-------------------------------------
iii)Test Statistic:: 4.2182
-------
iv)Conclusion:: Since the test stat is in the reject interval
reject Ho. There is a statistically significant difference between
the mean weights.
