Question

Transcribed Image Text:The random variables A and B follow normal distribution. It is know that the random variable A has a standard deviation o1 = 6, and the random variable B has a
standard deviation o2 = 5. Take a sample size of 50 from each random variable; we obtain 21 bar (average) =78 and 22 bar(average) = 87.
We conclude that the mean of variable A is higher.

Do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal. A researcher was interested in comparing the GPAs of students at two different colleges. Independent simple random samples of 8 students from college A and 13 students from college B yielded the following GPAs. College A 3.7 3.2 3.0 2.5 2.7 3.6 2.8 3.4 College B 3.8 3.2 3.0 3.9 3.8 2.5 3.9 2.8 4.0 3.6 2.6 4.0 3.6 Construct a 95% confidence interval for μ1−μ2, the difference between the mean GPA of college A students and the mean GPA of college B students.
