The null and alternate hypotheses are:
  
H0 : μ1 = μ2
H1 : μ1 ≠ μ2
  

A random sample of 9 observations from Population 1 revealed a sample mean of 23 and sample deviation of 5. A random sample of 7 observations from Population 2 revealed a sample mean of 25 and sample standard deviation of 3.8. The underlying population standard deviations are unknown but are assumed to be equal.

At the .05 significance level, is there a difference between the population means?
(a)

State the decision rule. (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)

  The decision rule is to reject H0 if t <  or t > .
(b) Compute the pooled estimate of the population variance. (Carry at least 3 decimal places in all intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
  Pooled estimate of the population variance   
(c)

Compute the test statistic. (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)

  Test statistic   
(d) State your decision about the null hypothesis.
  
(Click to select)Do not reject or Reject H0 .
