please refer to the attachment.
the formula for a confidence interval on the difference between means ( M1 - M2) is:
Md (t)( )
where Md = M1 - M2 is the statistic and is an estimate of (the standard error of the difference between means). t depends on the level of confidence desired and on the degrees of freedom. The estimated standard error, , is computed assuming that the variances in the two populations are equal. If the two sample sizes are equal (n1 = n2) then the population variance 2 (it is the same in both populations) is estimated by using the following formula:
MSE = ( )/2
where MSE (which stands for mean square error) is an estimate of sigma2. Once MSE is calculated, can be computed as follows:
=
1) H0: M1=M2 or M1-M2=0 vs H1: M1>M2
The first step is to compute the means of each group: M1 = 118 and M2 = 115.
Therefore, Md = 118 - 115 = 3.
= 15^2=225 and = 225.
MSE = (225 + 225)/2 =225. From the formula:
= = SQRT(2*225/2) = 15
We can calculate the t-stat for Md is td= (Md-0)/ ...
