Suppose we have two independent, normally distributed, populations and we draw a random sample from each population. For population A, we drew a sample of 13 and found the mean to be 17 with a standard deviation of 4. For population B, we drew a sample of 12 with a mean of 19 and a standard deviation of 3. We want to determine if the treatments result in the same effect. Show all work.

d.What is the degree of freedom?

e.What is the p-value?

f.What conclusion can you draw at the 0.05 significance level? At the 0.01 significance level
