independent random samples selected from two normal populations produced the following sample means and standard deviations. sample 1: n1= 17, x1= 5.4, s1= 3.4

sample 2: n2 =12, x2 = 7.9, s2= 4.8

a. assuming equal variances, conduct the test ho: (m1-m2) is equal to 0, against the ha: (m1-m2) isn't equal to 0 using alpha = .05

b. find and interpret the 95% confidence interval (m1-m2).

Consider independent random samples from two populations that are normal or approximately normal, or the case in which both sample sizes are at least 30. Then, if σ1 and σ2 are unknown but we have reason to believe that σ1 = σ2, we can pool the standard deviations. Using sample sizes n1 and n2, the sample test statistic x1 − x2 has a Student's t distribution where t = x1 − x2 s 1 n1 + 1 n2 with degrees...
