Suppose you take independent random samples from populations with means µi and pe. Furthermore, assume either that (i) both populations have normal distributions, or (ii) the sample sizes (ni and n2) are large. If X1 and X2 are the random sample means, and S1 and S2 are the random sample standard deviations, then how does the quantity (81-X5)-(H1-42) n1 n2 behave? Give the name of the distribution and any parameters needed to describe it.

Is this a t distribution since we don't know the standard deviation of the population? How does the quantity behave?

Suppose you take independent random samples from populations with
means µi and pe. Furthermore, assume either that (i) both populations
have normal distributions, or (ii) the sample sizes (ni and n2) are large. If X1
and X2 are the random sample means, and S1 and S2 are the random
sample standard deviations, then how does the quantity
(81-X5)-(H1-42)
n1
n2
behave? Give the name of the distribution and any parameters needed to
describe it.
