Use the t-distribution and the given sample results to complete the test of the given hypotheses. Assume the results come from r
andom samples, and if the sample sizes are small, assume the underlying distributions are relatively normal. Test H0 : μ1=μ2 vs Ha : μ1≠μ2 using the sample results x⎯⎯1=15.3, s1=11.6 with n1=100 and x⎯⎯2=18.4, s2=14.3 with n2=80.
(a) Give the test statistic and the p-value.
Round your answer for the test statistic to two decimal places and your answer for the p-value to three decimal places.
