- Accordi the historical data, the life expectancy in Mexico is equal to the life expectancy in Spain. A new study has been made to see whether this has changea. Records of 205 individuals from Mexico who died recently are selected at random. The 205 individuals lived an average of 71.8 years with a standard deviation of 2.6 years. Records of 250 individuals from Spain who died recently are selected at random and independently. The 250 individuals lived an average of 71.2 years with a standard deviation of 3.0 years. Assume that the population standard deviation of the life expectancy can be estimated by the sample standard deviations, since the samples that are used to compute them are quite large. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there enough evidence to support the claim that the life expectancy, H1, in Mexico is not equal to the life expectancy, µ,, in Spain anymore?
