determine if there is a significant difference between the average height of two different species of plants. The null hypothesis states that the population means are equal. The sample size for each species is 25 and the sample means are 15 and 16 cm, with sample standard deviations of 2 and 3 cm respectively. What is the test statistic for this hypothesis test?

Question
A hypothesis test is being conducted to determine if there is a significant difference between the average height of two different species of plants. The null hypothesis states that the population means are equal. The sample size for each species is 25 and the sample means are 15 and 16 cm, with sample standard deviations of 2 and 3 cm respectively. What is the test statistic for this hypothesis test?
Expert Solution
Step 1
We have given that,
n1 = n2 = 25
s1 = 2 and s2 = 3
x̄1 = 15 and x̄2 = 16
Then,
We will find t- statistic?
