Basic Computation: Testing 12 2 A random sample of 49 measurements from a population with population standard

Basic Computation: Testing μ12 μ2 A random sample of 49 measurements from a population with population standard deviation 3 had a sample mean of 10. An independent random sample of 64 measurements from a second population with population standard deviation 4 had a sample mean of 12. Test the claim that the population means are different. Use level of significance 0.01.

(a) Check Requirements What distribution does the sample test statistic follow? Explain.

(b) State the hypotheses.

(c) Compute x1 2x2 and the corresponding sample distribution value.

(d) Find the P-value of the sample test statistic.

(e) Conclude the test.

(f) Interpret the results.
