Solution Steps

Step 1: Hypotheses

We set up the null and alternative hypotheses as follows: H0:μ1=μ2 H_0: \mu_1 = \mu_2 H1:μ1μ2 H_1: \mu_1 \neq \mu_2

Step 2: Standard Error Calculation

The standard error SE SE is calculated using the formula: SE=s12n1+s22n2=10.05+10.05=2.0 SE = \sqrt{\frac{s_1^2}{n_1} + \frac{s_2^2}{n_2}} = \sqrt{\frac{10.0}{5} + \frac{10.0}{5}} = 2.0

Step 3: Test Statistic Calculation

The test statistic t t is computed as: t=xˉ1xˉ2SE=96.092.02.0=2.0 t = \frac{\bar{x}_1 - \bar{x}_2}{SE} = \frac{96.0 - 92.0}{2.0} = 2.0

Step 4: Degrees of Freedom Calculation

The degrees of freedom df df are calculated using the formula: df=(s12n1+s22n2)2(s12n1)2n11+(s22n2)2n21=16.02.0=8.0 df = \frac{\left(\frac{s_1^2}{n_1} + \frac{s_2^2}{n_2}\right)^2}{\frac{\left(\frac{s_1^2}{n_1}\right)^2}{n_1 - 1} + \frac{\left(\frac{s_2^2}{n_2}\right)^2}{n_2 - 1}} = \frac{16.0}{2.0} = 8.0

Step 5: P-value Calculation

The p-value P P is calculated as: P=2(1T(t))=2(1T(2.0))=0.0805 P = 2(1 - T(|t|)) = 2(1 - T(2.0)) = 0.0805

Final Answer

  • a. The null and alternative hypotheses are: H0:μ1=μ2,H1:μ1μ2 H_0: \mu_1 = \mu_2, \quad H_1: \mu_1 \neq \mu_2
  • b. The test statistic is: t=2.0 t = 2.0
  • c. The p-value is: P=0.0805 P = 0.0805

Thus, the final boxed answers are: H0:μ1=μ2,H1:μ1μ2 \boxed{H_0: \mu_1 = \mu_2, \quad H_1: \mu_1 \neq \mu_2} t=2.0 \boxed{t = 2.0} P=0.0805 \boxed{P = 0.0805}
