2. We wish to test $H_0: \mu = 20$ versus $H_a: \mu \neq 20$. A random sample of 9 observations from a normally distributed population yielded a test statistic of 2.14. We do not know the population standard deviation. The $p$-value for this test is A. 0.0162. B. between 0.05 and 0.10. C. between 0.025 and 0.05. D. 0.0324 E. between 0.01 and 0.02.

Assume that the populations are normally distributed. (a) Test whether $\mu_{1} \neq \mu_{2}$ at the $\alpha=0.05$ level of significance for the given sample data. (b) Construct a $95 \%$ confidence interval about $\mu_{1}-\mu_{2}$. $$ \begin{array}{ccc} & \text { Sample } \mathbf{1} & \text { Sample } 2 \\ \hline n & 20 & 20 \\ \hline \bar{x} & 111 & 104 \\ \hline s & 8.6 & 9.2 \\ \hline \end{array} $$
Inferences on Two Samples
Inference about Two Means: Independent Samples
Suppose we are testing the null hypothesis H0: μ = 20 and the alternative Ha: μ ≠ 20, for a Normal population with σ = 5. A random sample of 25 observations is drawn from the population, and we find that the sample mean of these observations is x̄ = 17.6. The P-value is closest to: a. 0.0668. b. 0.0082. c. .0164. d. .1336.
