The following are values of independent samples from two different populations.
| Sample 1 | 122 | 114 | 130 | 165 | 144 | 133 | 139 | 142 | 150 | 
| Sample 2 | 108 | 125 | 122 | 132 | 120 | 137 | 128 | 138 | 140 | 
Test to a 5% level if the two samples are taken from a population with the same mean or if population 1 has a higher true mean.
a) assume population 1 has a known standard deviation of 10 and population 2 has a known standard deviation of 5
b) assume population 1 has a known standard deviation of 10 and population 2 has a known standard deviation of 20
