Question
A recent survey compared the costs of adoption through public and private agencies. For a sample of 16 adoptions through a public
agency, the mean cost was $21,045, with a standard deviation of $835. For a sample of 18 adoptions through a private agency, the
mean cost was $22,840, with a standard deviation of $1,545. Assume the sample populations do not have equal standard deviations
and use the 0.05 significance level.
Required:
a. Find the degrees of freedom for unequal variance test. (Round down your answer to the nearest whole number.)
Degrees of freedom
b. State the decision rule for 0.05 significance level: He: HPublic SHPrivate H₁: HPublic HPrivate (Round your answer to 3
decimal places.)
Reject Ho if t
c. Compute the value of the test statistic. (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 3 decimal
