The results of sampling independent populations:
sample 1 from population 1
• mean 1000
• sample standard deviation 400
• sample size 50
sample 2 from population 2
• mean 1250
• sample standard deviation 400
• sample size 50
Test the HO: population 1 mean = population 2 mean at alpha = 0.01.
HA: population 1 mean =/ population2 mean. This is a two-tailed
test with both a negative lower critical value and a positive upper
critical value. Separate variances is assumed.
