The sample mean weights for two varieties of lettuce grown for 16 days in a controlled environment are 3.259 and 1.413 and the corresponding sample standard deviations are .400 and .220. If the sample sizes for the two varieties are 9 and 6 respectively, calculate the pooled sample standard deviation:
Solution
Given ,
=3.259 , = 1.413
s1 = 0.400 , s2 = 0.220
n1 = 9 , n2 = 6
Let denotes the pooled variance and denotes the pooled standard deviation.

=
=
= 0.34216505239
Answer : The pooled sample standard deviation: 0.34216505239
