    1. A test was conducted to compare the means of samples A and B. The F-test showed that the variances were equal, so a pooled t-test was used. The t-test result was statistically significant, so the null hypothesis that sample A does not last longer was rejected. 2. For samples A and B, the F-test showed the variances were unequal, so separate t-tests were used. The t-test result was not statistically significant, so the null hypothesis that sample B is not more efficient failed to be rejected.

    Test for Two Means and Variances

    1. (a) F = (12.5/10)2 = 1.5625 < c.v. = F(14, 14, 0.025) ~ F(15, 14, 0.025) = 2.95.
    Do not reject H 0 .

    (b) From (a), pooled t-test should be used.

    H 0 : µ A = µ B (A does not last longer)


    H 1 : µ A > µ B (A lasts longer)

    S p2 = 128.125
    t = 3.145 > c.v. = t(28, 0.05) = 1.701

    Reject H 0.

    2. (a) F = (2.5/1.8)2 = 1.929


    > c.v. = F(49, 49, 0.025) ~ F(50, 50, 0.025) ~ (1.88+1.80+1.74+1.67)/4.
    Reject H 0 .

    (b) From (a), separate t-test should be used.

    H 0 : µ A = µ B (B is not more efficient)


    H 1 : µ A > µ B (B is more efficient)

    df = [89.0423] = 89

    t = 1.3772 < c.v. = t(89, 0.05) = 1.662

    Do not reject H 0 .
