Summary Statistics Are Given for Independent Simple Random Samples from Two

question 54

Multiple Choice

Summary statistics are given for independent simple random samples from two populations. Use the nonpooled t-test toconduct the required hypothesis test.
- $$\bar { x } _ { 1 } = 74.0 , \mathrm {~s} _ { 1 } = 4.5 , \mathrm { n } _ { 1 } = 11 , \overline { \mathrm { x } } _ { 2 } = 64.0 , \mathrm {~s} _ { 2 } = 5.1 , \mathrm { n } _ { 2 } = 9$$
Perform a two-tailed hypothesis test using a significance level of $\alpha = 0.01$ .

• A)Test statistic: \(t = 4.598\)
• B) Test statistic: \(t = 2.646\)
• Critical values \(= \pm 2.878\)
• Critical values \(= \pm 2.921\)
• Reject \(\mathrm { H } _ { 0 }\)
• Do not reject \(\mathrm { H } _ { 0 }\)
• C) Test statistic: \(t = 2.646\)
• D) Test statistic: \(t = 4.598\)
• Critical values \(= \pm 2.878\)
• Critical values \(= \pm 2.921\)
• Do not reject \(\mathrm { H } _ { 0 }\)
• Reject \(\mathrm { H } _ { 0 }\)
