Two Population Means with Unknown Standard Deviations · Exercise 31
DIRECTIONS: For each of the word problems, use a solution sheet to do the hypothesis test. The solution sheet is found in Appendix E. Please feel free to make copies of the solution sheets. For the online version of the book, it is suggested that you copy the.doc or the.pdf files.
The mean number of English courses taken in a two–year time period by men and women college students is believed to be about the same. An experiment is conducted and data are collected from 29 men and 16 women. The men took an average of three English courses with a standard deviation of 0.8. The women took an average of four English courses with a standard deviation of 1.0. Are the means statistically the same?
