1. Assume that you have a sample of ?1 = 8, with the sample mean ?1 = 42, and a sample
standard deviation ?1 = 4, and you have an independent sample of ?2 = 15 from another ̅̅̅
population with a sample mean of ?2 = 34 and a sample standard deviation ?2 = 5.
a) What is the value of the pooled-variance ????? test statistic for testing ?0: ?1 = ?2?
b) In finding the critical value, how many degrees of freedom are there?
c) Using the level of significance ? = 0.01, what is the conclusion of a one-tail test of the
hypothesis ?0: ?1 ≤ ?2 against the alternative, ?1: ?1 > ?2?
