Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a test of 2 independent groups. The population standard deviations are not known. Let μ1 be the mean GPA of night students and μ2 be the mean GPA of day students.
The random variable is μ1 - μ2 = difference in the mean GPA of night students and the mean GPA of day students.
We would set up the hypothesis.
The null hypothesis is
H0 : μ1 = μ2 H0 : μ1 - μ2 = 0
The alternative hypothesis is
H1 : μ1 ≠ μ2 H1 : μ1 - μ2 ≠ 0
This is a two tailed test.
Since sample standard deviation is known, we would determine the test statistic by using the t test. The formula is
(x1 - x2)/√(s1²/n1 + s2²/n2)
From the information given,
μ1 = 2.35
μ2 = 2.58
s1 = 0.46
s2 = 0.47
n1 = 30
n2 = 25
t = (2.35 - 2.58)/√(0.46²/30 + 0.47²/25)
t = - 1.8246
The formula for determining the degree of freedom is
df = [s1²/n1 + s2²/n2]²/(1/n1 - 1)(s1²/n1)² + (1/n2 - 1)(s2²/n2)²
df = [0.46²/30 + 0.47²/25]²/[(1/30 - 1)(0.46²/30)² + (1/25 - 1)(0.47²/25)²] = 0.00025247091/0.00000496862
df = 51
We would determine the probability value from the t test calculator. It becomes
p value = 0.0746
Since alpha, 0.05 < than the p value, 0.0746, then we would fail to reject the null hypothesis.
