Answers

(a) At α = .05, is the mean weight of an international bag greater? Show the hypotheses, decision rule, and test statistic.

The null hypothesis tested is
H0: There is no significant difference in the mean weight of international and domestic bags. (µ1= µ2)
The alternative hypothesis is
H1: The mean weight of an international bag is greater than that of domestic. (µ1> µ2)
The test statistic used is
Where , where = 48.6, = 36.13333333, S12 = 141.3777778, S22= 20.98095238, n1 = 10, n2 = 15. (Please see the excel sheet)
That is, = 8.251833349
Therefore, = 3.700628799
Rejection criteria: Reject the null hypothesis, if the calculated value of t is greater than the critical value of t with 23 d.f. at the 0.05 significance level.

Upper critical value = 1.713871517
