In: Statistics and Probability
u1-u2 = 10
m = 25
sd = 15.22
mean = 22.32
n = 25
Sd = 17.35
mean = 14.75
can u do the hypothesis test by using the t test
thanks

Level of Significance , α =
0.05
Sample #1 ----> 1
mean of sample 1, x̅1= 22.320
standard deviation of sample 1, s1 =
15.2200
size of sample 1, n1= 25
Sample #2 ----> 2
mean of sample 2, x̅2= 14.750
standard deviation of sample 2, s2 =
17.3500
size of sample 2, n2= 25
difference in sample means = x̅1-x̅2 =
22.3200 - 14.8 =
7.57
pooled std dev , Sp= √([(n1 - 1)s1² + (n2 -
1)s2²]/(n1+n2-2)) = 16.3198
std error , SE = Sp*√(1/n1+1/n2) =
4.6159
t-statistic = ((x̅1-x̅2)-µd)/SE = (
7.5700 - 10 ) /
4.62 = -0.526
Degree of freedom, DF= n1+n2-2 =
48
p-value =
0.6010 (excel function: =T.DIST.2T(t stat,df)
)
Conclusion: p-value>α , Do not reject
null hypothesis
