Problem 2: The fuel economy (in km/L) of two types of car engines were measured by testing 25 trials for each. The sample mean and standard deviation for engine 1 was x₁14.5 and s₁ = 0.6, and for engine 2, x₂ =15.5 and $₂ $1 1.2. = a) What appropriate hypotheses should be used to test whether engine 2 provides higher fuel economy than engine 1? b) Is there evidence to support the claim that engine 2 has a higher fuel economy than engine 1? Use a = 0.05, and assume that both populations are normally distributed but the variances are not equal.
