In Exercises 11 –14, test the claim about the difference between two population means u1 and u2 at the level of significance a. Assume the samples are random and independent, and the populations are normally distributed.
Given sample sizes n1 = n2 = 10, sample means = 5.2 and =7.1, and sample variances = 4 and = 6.2 using alpha = 0.05, test the hypothesis H0: u1 = u2 against Ha: u1 does not equal u2.
A) What assumptions do we need to make about the data to use the central limit theorem?
B) What is the value of the appropriate test statisctics?
Test the claim that the proportion of people who own cats is smaller than 10% at the 0.025 significance level.The null and alternative hypothesis would be:

Car and Taxi Ages When the author visited Dublin, Ireland (home of Guinness Brewery employee William Gosset, who first developed the t distribution), he recorded the ages of randomly selected passenger cars and randomly selected taxis. The ages can be found from the license plates. (There is no end to the fun of traveling with the author.) The ages (in years) are listed below.
