Preliminary data analyses indicate that the assumptions for using pooled t-procedures are satisfied. Independent random samples of 104 plots with cropland and 98 plots with grassland yielded the given summary statistics for the number of species of bird. At the 55% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that a difference exists in the mean number of species in the two regions?
