1. Suppose we take a sample from two separate populations and record some quantitative measurement for both. The first sample contained 60 respondents and resulted sample mean of 103 with a sample standard deviation of 8.2. The second sample contained 75 respondents and resulted sample mean of 100 with a sample standard deviation of 7.56. Using this information, our goal is to test:
H0:
μ1-μ2
= 0
Ha:
μ1-μ2
> 0
What is the test statistic, t, for this example?
Note: for your test statistic, keep the order of (sample #1) minus
(sample #2).
2. Using the information from the previous problem, which tail will you look at to find your p-value?
3. Refer to the information in the previous two questions. Using the df and t-distribution calculator Excel spreadsheet, how many degrees of freedom will this test use?
4. Using the information from the previous three questions, what is the p-value for this hypothesis test?

Find the p-value for each of these situations. Be sure to take into account whether the test is left sided, right sided, or two sided. Hints: Draw a picture! Also, all provided information may not be relevant. Note that when testing the value of a single population mean (rather than a difference in means), degrees of freedom are df = n - 1. Round all answers to three decimal places a. H0: μ1 - μ2 = 0 HA: μ1 -...
Independent random samples selected from two normal populations produced the sample means and standard deviations shown below: Sample 1 Sample 2 x̅1 = 5.4 x̅2 = 8.2 s1 = 5.6 s2 = 8.2 n1 = 20 n2 = 18 Conduct the test H0 : μ1 - μ2 = 0 against H1 : μ1 - μ2 ≠ 0 ,then the test statistic is __________.

In a study on the effect of an oral rinse on plaque buildup on teeth, sixteen people whose teeth were thoroughly cleaned and polished were randomly assigned to two groups of eight subjects each. Both groups were assigned to use oral rinses (no brushing) for a 2-week period. Group 1 used a rinse that contained an antiplaque agent. Group 2, the control group, received a similar rinse except that the rinse contained no antiplaque agent. A measure of plaque buildup...
5. We wish to conduct a hypothesis test of the form Ho : μ1-2-0 vs Ha : μί-μ2 > 0. Both populations are assumed normal with equal variance and samples are assumed independent. We draw 15 observations for the first sample and 17 observations for the second sample. State the distribution of the test statistic for this test. (a) t-distribution with 32 degrees of freedom (b) t-distribution with 30 degrees of freedom (e) Normal distribution with 30 degrees of freedom...
Assume that the assumptions and conditions for inference with a two-sample t-test are met. Test the indicated claim about the means of the two populations. State your conclusion.A researcher wishes to determine whether people with high blood pressure can reduce their blood pressure by following a particular diet. Use the sample data below to test the claim that the treatment population mean μ1 is smaller than the control population mean μ2. Test the claim using a significance level of 0.01. Treatment...
In order to compare the means of two populations, independent random samples of 400 observations are selected from each population, with the results found in the table to the right. Complete parts a through e below. Sample 1 overbar x = 5,305 s1= 154 Sample 2 overbar x = 5,266 s2 = 199 a. Use a 95% confidence interval to estimate the difference between the population means (mu 1 - mu 2). Interpret the confidence interval. The confidence interval is...
