A researcher wants to prove that there is a difference in the
average life spans between men and women in Japan. Let mu1 =
average life span of Japanese women and mu2 = average life span of
Japanese men. A random sample of 10 women showed an average
lifespan of 83 years, with a sample standard deviation of 7 years.
A random sample of 10 men showed an average lifespan of 77 years,
with a sample standard deviation of 6.4 years. Assume that life
spans are normally distributed and that the population variances
are equal. What is the standard error for this hypothesis test?
