'The results of a mathematics placement exam at two different campuses of Mercy College follow: Population Standard Sample Mean Deviation 33 31 Campus Sample Size 330 310 The college wants to test the hypothesis that the mean score on Campus higher than on Campus 2. If we test the null hypothesis at the 5% level of significance, what is the decision?'

Step 1
The null hypothesis (H0) is that the mean score on Campus 1 is equal to the mean score on Campus 2. The alternative hypothesis (H1) is that the mean score on Campus 1 is greater than the mean score on Campus 2. Show more…

The results of a mathematics placement exam at two different campuses of Mercy College follow: Campus Sample Size Mean Population Std. Deviation 1 330 33 8 2 310 31 7 What is the null hypothesis if we want to test the hypothesis that the mean score on Campus 1 is higher than on Campus 2? Select one: a. H0: μ1 = 0 b. H0: μ2 = 0 c. H0: μ1 = μ2 d. H0: μ1 ≤ μ2

Consider a hypothesis test of difference of means for two independent populations $x_{1}$ and $x_{2}$. Suppose that both sample sizes are greater than 30 and that you know $\sigma_{1}$ but not $\sigma_{2}$. Is it standard practice to use the normal distribution or a Student's $t$ distribution?
