In: Statistics and Probability
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 5068 with a standard deviation of 4777. Of the 35 four-year colleges surveyed, the average enrollment was 5466 with a standard deviation of 8191.† Conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% level. NOTE: If you are using a Student's t-distribution for the problem, including for paired data, you may assume that the underlying population is normally distributed. (In general, you must first prove that assumption, though.)
A) State the distribution to use for the test. (Enter your answer in the form zor tdfwhere dfis the degrees of freedom. Round your answer to two decimal places.)
B) Sketch a picture of this situation. Label and scale the horizontal axis and shade the region(s) corresponding to the p-value. (Upload your file below.)
