Question

A student at a four-year college claims that average enrollment at four-year colleges is higher than at two-year colleges in the United States. Two surveys are conducted. Of the 35 two-year colleges surveyed, the average enrollment was 5061 with a standard deviation of 4775. Of the 35 four-year colleges surveyed, the average enrollment was 5216 with a standard deviation of 8101. Conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% level.

1) State the distribution to use for the test. (Enter your answer in the form z or t_df where df is the degrees of freedom. Round your answer to two decimal places.)

2) What is the test statistic? (T or Z) & (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

3) What is the p-value? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

4) Alpha: α =
