A random sample of 10 observations from one population revealed a sample mean of 23 and a sample standard deviation of 4. A random sample of 8 observations from another population revealed a sample mean of 26 and a sample standard deviation of 5. At the 0.05 significance level, is there a difference between the population means?

There is not significant difference between the population means

Step-by-step explanation:

Two-Sample T-Test and CI

Sample   N   Mean StDev SE Mean

1       10 23.00   4.00      1.3

2        8 26.00   5.00      1.8

Difference = ? (1) - ? (2)

Estimate for difference: -3.00

95% CI for difference: (-7.49, 1.49)

T-Test of difference = 0 (vs ?): T-Value = -1.42 P-Value = 0.176 DF = 16

Both use Pooled StDev = 4.4651

since p-value = 0.176 > 0.05

Therefore at 0.05 significant level we fail to reject the null hypothesis

there is not significant difference between the population means

answer: its c because when it has a magnet next to it it will move away from the mixture. hope this
