Given the following null and alternative hypotheses:
H0 : µ1 - µ2 = 0
HA : µ1 - µ2 ≠ 0
Two independent simple random samples were selected from the two normally distributed
populations yielded the following information:
Sample 1 Sample 2
n1 = 30 n2 = 40
x1 = 150

x2 = 145
Assume that the population standard deviations are known to be σ1 = 10 and σ2 = 15 and α = 0.01.
a. Using the test statistic approach, what conclusion should be reached about the
null hypothesis?

 

b- b. Using the p-value approach, what decision should be reached about the null
hypothesis?
