If the assumptions for a nonpooled t-interval are satisfied, the formula for a (1 )-level lower

If the assumptions for a nonpooled t-interval are satisfied, the formula for a (1 ˆ’ α)-level lower confidence bound for the difference, μ1 ˆ’ μ2, between two population means is

For a right-tailed hypothesis test at the significance level α, the null hypothesis H0: μ1 = μ2 will be rejected in favor of the alternative hypothesis Ha: μ1 > μ2 if and only if the (1 ˆ’ α)-level lower confidence bound for μ1 ˆ’ μ2 is positive. In each case, illustrate the preceding relationship by obtaining the appropriate lower confidence bound and comparing the result to the conclusion of the hypothesis test in the specified exercise.
