Suppose you take independent random samples from populations with means µi and µz. Furthermore, assume either that (i) both populations have normal distributions, or (ii) the sample sizes (ni and nz2) are large. If X1 and X2 are the random sample means, and S, and Sz are the random sample standard deviations, then how does the quantity behave? Give the name of the distribution and any parameters needed to describe it.

Suppose you take independent random samples from populations with means μ1 and μ2. Furthermore, assume either that (i) both populations have normal distributions, or (ii) the sample sizes (n1 and n2) are large. If X1 and X2 are the random sample means, and S1 and S2 are the random sample standard deviations, then how does the quantity behave?

Give the name of the distribution and any parameters needed to describe it.
