<PRE><B>Question 1123237</B>
With large sample sizes, normality may be assumed if sample is random.
Ho: Australians are same height or smaller
Ha: Australians are taller.
alpha=0.05 P{reject Ho|Ho true}
1 way z-test
critical value is z&gt;1.645
test (68.55-67.85)/sqrt (sigma1^2/n1+sigma^2/n2); sqrt (0.004993)=0.070
z=(0.7)/0.0707=9.91
reject Ho, highly significant
Australians on average are taller than Englishmen. Note: with samples this large, the power to detect a difference is very large.  Note: z-test is appropriate with samples this large.
