Homework Statement
sample 1: size -10, mean -124, variance -1681
sample 2: size -5, mean -68, variance - 481
Assuming equal variance, independent and normality holds
a)Is there any evidence that that the mean in population 2 is is less than the mean in population 1? Use alpha = 0.01. What is the p-value?
b)Test the 2 variances. Alpha = 0.05
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
for a), would I use the following test statistic[tex]t = \frac{\overline{x} - c}{s/\sqrt{n}}[/tex]~[tex]t_{n-1}[/tex]. Just not sure how to incorporate the 2 different sample variances.
