Question

The mean tar content of a simple random sample of

25

unfiltered​ king-size cigarettes is

20.8

​mg, with a standard deviation of

3

mg. The mean tar content of a simple random sample of

25

filtered​ 100-mm cigarettes is

13.0

mg with a standard deviation of

3.9

mg. The accompanying table shows the data. Assume that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally distributed​ populations, and do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal. Let population 1 be unfiltered​ king-size cigarettes. Complete parts​ (a) through​ (c) below.
