An engineer is comparing voltages for two types of batteries (K and Q) using a sample of 7070 type K batteries and a sample of 8585 type Q batteries. The type K batteries have a mean voltage of 8.848.84, and the population standard deviation is known to be 0.3030.303. The type Q batteries have a mean voltage of 9.059.05, and the population standard deviation is known to be 0.3670.367. Conduct a hypothesis test for the conjecture that the mean voltage for these two types of batteries is different. Let μ1μ1 be the true mean voltage for type K batteries and μ2μ2 be the true mean voltage for type Q batteries. Use a 0.010.01 level of significance. Step 1 of 4 : State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test.
