Assume that you have a sample of n 1 equals 8n1=8, with the sample mean upper x overbar 1 equals 42x1=42, and a sample standard deviation of upper s 1 equals 4s1=4, and you have an independent sample of n 2 equals 15n2=15 from another population with a sample mean of upper x overbar 2 equals 34x2=34 and a sample standard deviation of upper s 2 equals 5s2=5. what assumptions about the two populations are necessary in order to perform thepooled-variance t test for the hypothesis upper h 0 : μ 1 equals μ 2h0: μ1=μ2 against the alternative upper h 1 : μ 1 > μ 2h1: μ1> μ2 and make a statistical decision?

Hello!

To make a pooled variance t-test you have to make the following assumptions:

The study variables X₁ and X₂ must be independent.

Both variables should have a normal distribution, X₁~N(μ₁; σ₁²) and X₂~N(μ₂; σ₂²)

The population variances should be equal but unknown, σ₁² = σ₂² = ?.

You have the information of two samples:

Sample 1

n₁=8

sample mean X[bar]₁= 42

sample standard deviation S₁=4

Sample 2

n₂=15

sample mean X[bar]₂= 34

sample standard deviation S₂= 5

For the hypothesis:

H₀: μ₁ = μ₂

H₁: μ₁ > μ₂

The statistic is:

t=  (X[bar]₁ - X[bar]₂) - (μ₁ - μ₂) ~

Sa

Sa²=

Sa²= 22

Sa= 4.69

= 3.8962 ≅ 3.9

The critical region is one-tailed, for example for α: 0.05

Since > 1.721, then the decision is to reject the null hypothesis.

I hope it helps!

a line is an defined derm because it

a)contains an infinite number of points b) can be used to create other geometric shapes c)describes something that does not have width or depth d) is a term that does not have a formal definition. a line is an undefined term because it: contains an infinite number of points.
