Two independent samples are drawn from two populations, and the following information is provided.

                Sample 1              Sample 2

n/x         34                           52

                55                           65

s              14                           18

We want to test the following hypotheses.

H0: μ1 - μ2 ≥ 0

Ha: μ1 - μ2 < 0

  1.             Determine the degrees of freedom.
  2.             Compute the test statistic.
  3.              At the 5% level, test the hypotheses.
