Question 1162332: In your sample of 23 art students and 30 economics students, the mean amount that a group of economics students like statistics is 26, while the mean amount that a group of art students like statistics is 15. The variance in the economic group is 4.2, while the variance in the art group is 10.3.
Calculate your test statistic for finding whether the groups differ in how much they like statistics. Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! This has SE of sp*( sqrt((1/n1)+(1/n2)))
sp^2 is (n1-1)s1^2+(n2-1)s2^2 divided by (n1+n2-2)
=22*10.3+29*4.2 divided by 51
=6.831
sqrt of that is sp or 2.614
SE is 2.614((1/23)+(1/30))=0.7245
t=diff in means/SE
=-11/0.7245=-15.19
I used art first and had a negative value; if one used economics first, it would be positive.
