= 0.05. Now the degrees of freedom needs to be found to find the corresponding t value from a table. The degrees of freedom is calculated as follows where s1 is the sample standard deviation for population 1, n1 is the sample size from population 1, s2 is the sample standard deviation for population 2, and n2 is the sample size from population 2.

The needed values were found to be
n1 = 10,
s1 = 2.5634,
n2 = 8,
and
s2 = 3.5517.
Use these values to find the degrees of freedom, rounding the result to one decimal place.
Solution :
Given that standard deviations are known.
Degrees of freedom
= n1 + n2 - 2
= 10 + 8 - 2
= 16
Both standard deviations are known and we determined α 2 = 0.05. Now the degrees of...
Finding F critical for Variances Use the F-distribution to find the degrees of freedon for the numerator (d.f.N.), the degrees of freedom for the Denominator (d.f.D.) and the critical F-value Use the closest value when looking up the d.f.N. and d.f.D. in the tables.

Please help find the degrees of freedom Using s1 = 3 and s2 = 4, we can compute the t value corresponding to the test statistic x1 − x2 = −2. Recall that n1 = 49 and n2 = 64. We will also need the degrees of freedom for this sample statistic, which is given by the smaller of n1 − 1 and n2 − 1. Since n1 − 1 = 48 and n2 − 1 = 63, find that d.f. =
A random sample of 49 measurements from one population had a sample mean of 13, with sample standard deviation 3. An independent random sample of 64 measurements from a second population had a sample mean of 15, with sample standard deviation 4. Test the claim that the population means are different. Use the level of significance 0.01. Using s1 = 3 and s2 = 4, we can compute the t value corresponding to the test statistic x1 − x2 = −2. Recall...
You wish to test the following claim (HaHa) at a significance level of α=0.001α=0.001. Ho:μ1=μ2Ho:μ1=μ2 Ha:μ1<μ2Ha:μ1<μ2 You believe both populations are normally distributed, but you do not know the standard deviations for either. And you have no reason to believe the variances of the two populations are equal You obtain a sample of size n1=24n1=24 with a mean of ¯x1=71.1x¯1=71.1 and a standard deviation of s1=18.6s1=18.6 from the first population.

Using the following data, conduct a hypothesis test (by hand) to see if your sample standard deviation (s) differs significantly from your population standard deviation (σ = 2). Alpha is 0.05 (α = 0.05). Sample data: 10, 12,10, 9, 11, 10, 11, 9, 11, 10, 9, 10, 11, 10, 8, 9, 11, 10 You will need to: a) State your alternative hypothesis and null hypothesis b) Calculate the sample standard deviation (s) c) Calculate the sample size and degrees of...
Question We are doing a two-mean pooled t-test. We have two samples with sizes n = 13 and n2 = 24. The population standard deviations are unknown but assumed to be equal, so we find the sample standard deviations and use them to calculate a pooled standard deviation, Sp- • For sample 1: S1 = 9.4 and 1 = 47 • For sample 2: s2 = 8.7 and iz = 44 What are the test statistic (I) and the degrees...
