You wish to test the following claim (HaHa) at a significance
level of α=0.05α=0.05.

Ha:μ1<μ2Ha:μ1<μ2
You believe both populations are normally distributed, but you do
not know the standard deviations for either. However, you also have
no reason to believe the variances of the two populations are not
equal. You obtain a sample of size n1=12n1=12 with a mean of
M1=71.3M1=71.3 and a standard deviation of SD1=11.6SD1=11.6 from
the first population. You obtain a sample of size n2=25n2=25 with a
mean of M2=82.2M2=82.2 and a standard deviation of SD2=12.1SD2=12.1
from the second population.

You obtain a sample of size n1=61n1=61 with a mean of
M1=65.1M1=65.1 and a standard deviation of SD1=18.6SD1=18.6 from
the first population. You obtain a sample of size n2=79n2=79 with a
mean of M2=54.8M2=54.8 and a standard deviation of SD2=20.4SD2=20.4
from the second population.
