Expert Solution
Step 1

(a)

Obtain the critical value when the population variances are equal.

The critical value is obtained below as follows :

Statistics homework question answer, step 1, image 1

Given the tail of the test is two tailed.

The degrees of freedom is obtained below as follows:

Statistics homework question answer, step 1, image 2

Use EXCEL Procedure for finding the critical value of t.

 

Follow the instruction to obtain the critical value of t:

 

  1. Open EXCEL
  2. Go to Formula bar.
  3. In formula bar enter the function as“=TINV”
  4. Enter the probability as 0.02.
  5. Enter the degrees of freedom as 21.
  6. Click enter

 

EXCEL output:

 

From the EXCEL output, the critical value of t at 0.02 level of significance with the 21 degrees of freedom is 2.518.

 

Thus, the critical values are(–2.518, 2.518).
