Solution:

Here, we have to use two sample t test for the difference between two population means by assuming equal population variances.

We use pooled t test because standard deviations for the given two samples are approximately same and very close to each other.

Null hypothesis: H0: There is no significant difference in the average age of male and female.

Alternative hypothesis: Ha: There is a significant difference in the average age of male and female.

H0: µ1 = µ2 versus Ha: µ1 ≠ µ2

This is a two tailed test.

We assume level of significance = α = 0.05

Test statistic formula for pooled variance t test is given as below:

t = (X1bar – X2bar) / sqrt[Sp2*((1/n1)+(1/n2))]

Where Sp2 is pooled variance

Sp2 = [(n1 – 1)*S1^2 + (n2 – 1)*S2^2]/(n1 + n2 – 2)

We are given

X1bar = 65.353

X2bar = 73.628

S1 = 13.944

S2 = 13.939

n1 = 65

n2 = 35

df = n1 + n2 – 2 = 65 + 35 – 2= 98

α = 0.05

Critical value = - 1.9845 and 1.9845

(by using t-table)

Sp2 = [(n1 – 1)*S1^2 + (n2 – 1)*S2^2]/(n1 + n2 – 2)

Sp2 = [(65 – 1)* 13.944^2 + (35 – 1)* 13.939^2]/(65 + 35 – 2)

Sp2 = 194.3868

t = (X1bar – X2bar) / sqrt[Sp2*((1/n1)+(1/n2))]

t = (65.353 – 73.628) / sqrt[194.3868*((1/65)+(1/35))]

t = -8.2750 / 2.9231

t = -2.8309

P-value = 0.0056

(by using t-table/excel)

P-value < α = 0.05

So, we reject the null hypothesis

There is sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a significant difference in the average age of male and female.
