Consider the following hypothesis test

H0: mu1 - mu2 = 0

Ha: mu1 - mu2 =/ 0

The following results are for two independent samples taken from the two populations.

Sample 1 Sample 2

n1 = 80 n2 = 70

mu1 = 104 mu2 = 106

s1 = 8.4 s2 = 7.6

1. What is the value of the test statistic?
2. With alpha = .05, what is your hypothesis testing conclusion?

**Both the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis need to be stated**

I need to have the work shown (IE formulas used, etc) so I can learn how to solve this type of problem through step by step solving process.

Thanks
