A sample of 65 observations is selected from one population. The sample mean is 2.67 and the sample standard deviation is .75. A sample of 50 observations is selected from a second population. The sample mean is 2.59 and the sample standard deviation is .66. Conduct the following test using 95% level of confidence. Z-test for Unpaired data
\n" ); document.write( "a. Is it a 1 or 2 tail test::: 2 tail
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "b. Compute the statistical calculation
\n" ); document.write( "Ho: u1-u2 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "H1: u1-u2 is not 0
\n" ); document.write( "critical value: +/-1.96
\n" ); document.write( "test statistic: z = (2.67-2.59)/sqrt[(0.75^2/65)+(0.66^2/50)] = 0.6071
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "c. What is your decision regarding H1: fail to reject Ho; reject H1
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "d. What is the P-value
\n" ); document.write( "p-value = 2*normalcdf(0.6071,100) = 0.5438
\n" ); document.write( "=============================================
