Assume that you have a sample of n1=9, with the sample mean X overbar 1=46, and a sample standard deviation of S1=6, and you have an independent sample of n2=15 from another population with a sample mean of X overbar 2=36 and the sample standard deviation S2=8.
Complete parts (a) through (d) below.
a.What is the value of the pooled-variance t STAT test statistic for testing H0: μ1=μ2?
b. In finding the critical value, how many degrees of freedom are there?
c. using the significance level of alpha= 0.025, what is the critical value for a one-tail test of the hypothesis H0: μ1 greater than or equal to μ2 against the alternative H1:μ1>μ2?
d. what is your statistical decision?
