Q2. Assume we have two populations
represent the mercury contamination
(g/Km3) in two different European cities.
The mean of mercury contamination in the
first city is 50 g/Km3 with standard
deviation of 1O, and mean of mercury
contamination in the second city is 40
g/Km3 with standard deviation of 8 g/Km3.
If a sample of n=9 is taken form first city and
a sample of n=16 is taken form second city,
what is the probability that the difference
between these two sample means is less
than 9 g/Km3?
