Question

You wish to test the following claim (HaHa) at a significance level of α=0.10α=0.10.

      Ho:μ1=μ2Ho:μ1=μ2
      Ha:μ1<μ2Ha:μ1<μ2

You believe both populations are normally distributed, but you do not know the standard deviations for either. We will assume that the population variances are not equal.

You obtain a sample of size n1=18 with a mean of M1=62.6  and a standard deviation of SD1=13.2 from the first population. You obtain a sample of size n2=17 with a mean of M2=73.1 and a standard deviation of SD2=5.6 from the second population.

What is the test statistic for this sample? (Report answer accurate to three decimal places.)
