Consider the following hypothesis test:
H0: μ1 - μ2 ≤ 0
Ha: μ1 - μ2 > 0
The following results are for two independent samples taken from the two populations.
Sample 1 Sample 2
n1 = 40 n2 = 60
x̄1 = 25.8 x̄2 = 22.1
σ1 = 5.1 σ2 = 6
a. What is the value of the test statistic (round to 2 decimals)?
3.20
b. What is the p-value (round to 4 decimals)? Use z-table. Use z-value rounded to 2 decimal places.
.0212
c. With α = .05, what is your hypothesis testing conclusion?
p-value is less than or equal to 0.05, reject H0
