Question 1178794: I need help for the following questions. Really appreciate it.
A sample of 40 observations is selected from one population with a population standard deviation of 3.9. The sample mean is 102. A sample of 53 observations is selected from a second population with a population standard deviation of 3.2. The sample mean is 101. Conduct the following test of hypothesis using the 0.05 significance level. a. Is this a one-tailed or a two-tailed test? b. State the decision rule. c. Compute the value of the test statistic. d. What is your decision regarding Ho ? e. What is the p-value?
H0:μ1=μ2;H1:μ1≠μ2

Hi |sample | 40 | 53 | |Mean | 102| 101 | |Standard Deviation | 3.9 | 3.2 | Are the sample means no different or different? Ho: u1 = u2 Ha: ui ≠ u2 .05 confidence level, 2 tailed t-test: |t (df 93-2=91)| > 1.99 Reject Ho t=(x bar-mean)/sqrt ((s1^2/n1)+(s2^2/n2)) t= (1)/sqrt ((15.21/40)+(10.24/53)) = 1.32 1.32 <1.99 Fail to Reject Ho, study indicates statistically the sample means are no different. p-value = .095 Wish You the Best in your Studies.
