1. Find the standardized test statistic to test the claim that mean1 = mean 2. Two samples are randomly selected from each population. The sample statistics are given below.
n1 = 50 n2 = 6
x1 = 31 x2 = 29
s1 = 1.5 s2 = 1.9
x has a line above it

Since one sample has less than 30 data points, first calculate the pooled estimate of standard deviation.
sp=[((n1-1)*s1^2+(n2-1)*s2^2)/(n1+n2-2)]^0.5
sp=((49*1.5^2+5*1.9*^2)/(50+6-2))^0.5=1.5471
Then calculate the standard error = sp*(1/n1+1/n2)^0.5 = 1.5471*(1/50+1/6)^0.5=0.6684
Standardized test statistic = (x1-x2)/standard error = (31-29)/0.6684=2.99
Since the test statistic is 2.99, we are most likely to reject the null depending upon ...
