Provided below are summary statistics for independent simple random samples from two populations. Use the pooled t-test and the pooled t-interval procedure to conduct the required hypothesis test and obtain the specified confidence interval. x1=12, s1=2.4, n1=19, x2=13, s2=2.2, n2=19
a. Two-tailed test, a=0.01
b. 99% confidence interval
Part 1) First, what are the correct hypotheses for a two-tailed test?
Part 2) Next, compute the test statistic.
Part 3) Determine the P-value.
Part 4) What is the conclusion of the hypothesis test?
Since the P-value is (equal to or less) or (greater) than "a", (do not reject) or (reject) H0.
Part 5) The 99% confidence interval is from _ to _
