2, Work problem on Page 9-47, Question 6.
Consider the following hypothesis test.
H0: μ1 - μ2 ≤ 0
Ha: μ1 - μ2 > 0
n1 = 40, 1 = 25.2, σ1 = 5.2
n2 = 50, 2 = 22.8, σ2 = 6.0
a. What is the value of the test statistic?
b. What is the p-value?
c. With α = 0.05, what is your hypothesis-testing conclusion?
2)
The statistical software output for this problem is :
Test statistics = 2.031
P-value =0.0211
C) Reject the null hypothesis
Test statistic = z
= 1 - 2 / [1 / n1 + 2 / n2]
= 25.2-22.8 / [5.2^2 / 40 + 6^2/ 50]
Test statistic = 2.031
P(z > 2.031) = 0.0211
P-value = 0.0211
