Test the claim that $\mu _ { 1 } = \mu _ { 2 }$ Two samples are random, independent, and come from populations that are
normally distributed. The sample statistics are given below. Assume that $\sigma _ { 1 } ^ { 2 } = \sigma _ { 2 } ^ { 2 } \text {. }$ Use $\alpha$ = 0.05. $$\begin{array} { l l } \mathrm { n } _ { 1 } = 14 & \mathrm { n } _ { 2 } = 12 \\\overline { \mathrm { x } }_ 1 = 12 & \overline { \mathrm { x } }_ 2 = 13 \\\mathrm {~s} _ { 1 } = 2.5 & \mathrm {~s} _ { 2 } = 2.8\end{array}$$
