Question

Do a two-sample test for equality of means assuming unequal variances. Calculate the p-value using Excel.
 
(a-1) Comparison of GPA for randomly chosen college juniors and seniors:
 
x⎯⎯1x¯1 = 4.5, s1 = .20, n1 = 15, x⎯⎯2x¯2 = 4.9, s2 = .30, n2 = 15, α = .025, left-tailed test.
(Negative values should be indicated by a minus sign. Round down your d.f. answer to the nearest whole number and other answers to 4 decimal places. Do not use "quick" rules for degrees of freedom.)
   

   
d.f.  
t-calculated  
p-value  
t-critical  
 

 
(a-2) 
Based on the above data choose the correct decision.
  

  • Do not reject the null hypothesis
  • Reject the null hypothesis

 
(b-1) Comparison of average commute miles for randomly chosen students at two community colleges:
 
x⎯⎯1x¯1 = 23, s1 = 5, n1 = 22, x⎯⎯2x¯2 = 32, s2 = 7, n2 = 19, α = .05, two-tailed test.
(Negative values should be indicated by a minus sign. Round down your d.f. answer to the nearest whole number and other answers to 4 decimal places. Do not use "quick" rules for degrees of freedom.)
  

 

   
d.f.  
t-calculated  
p-value  
t-critical +/- 
 

 
(b-2) Based on the above data choose the correct decision.
  

  • Reject the null hypothesis
  • Do not reject the null hypothesis

 
(c-1) Comparison of credits at time of graduation for randomly chosen accounting and economics students:
 
x⎯⎯1x¯1 = 149, s1 = 2.8, n1 = 12, x⎯⎯2x¯2 = 146, s2 = 2.7, n2 = 17, α = .05, right-tailed test.

d.f.  
t-calculated  
p-value  
t-critical  
 

 
(c-2) 
Based on the above data choose the correct decision.
