Chapter 9.1, Problem 16E
Ages of College Students The dean of students wants to see whether there is a significant difference in ages of resident students and commuting students. She selects a random sample of 50 students from each group. The ages are shown here. At α = 0.05, decide if there is enough evidence to reject the claim of no difference in the ages of the two groups. Use the P-value method. Assume σ1 = 3.68 and σ2 = 4.7.
