PROBLEM STATEMENT
The sugar level among individuals in two different cities are known to be normally
distributed each with population standard deviations of 15. A scientist wants to know if the
mean of sugar level between individuals in city A and city B are different, so they select a
simple random sample of 20 individuals from each city and records their sugar levels. To
test this, they perform a two-sample z-test at significance level α = 0.05 using the following
steps:
Suppose there are the two simple random samples with the following information:
Step 3: Calculate the z test statistic. The z test statistic is calculated as:
1. What are the values of x1– x2?
a. 101.66-109.8
b. 100.65-108.8
c. 100.56-178.8
d. 110.65-180.8
a. √15^2/20 + 15^2/20
b. √15^2/30 + 15^2/20
c. √16^2/30 + 16^2/20
d. √16^2/20 + 16^2/40
a. -1.817
b. -1.243
c. 1.718
d. -1.718
