Independent random samples were selected from two normally distributed populations with means m1 and m2, respectively. The sample sizes, means, and variances are shown in the following table:

a. Test H0: (μ1 – μ2) = 0 against Ha: (μ1 – μ2)> 0. Use α = .05.


b. Form a 99% confidence interval for (μ1 – μ2).


c. How large must n1 and n2 be if you wish to estimate (μ1 – μ2)to within two units with 99% confidence? Assume that n1 = n2.

Sample 1        

Sample 2

n1 = 12         

 = 17.8     

s21 = 74.2      

n2 = 14

= 15.3

s22= 60.5
