Ages of College StudentsThe dean of students wants to see whether there is a significant difference in ages of resident students and commuting students. She selects a sample of 30 students from each group. The ages are shown here. At =α0.01 , decide if there is enough evidence to reject the claim of no difference in the ages of the two groups. Use the standard deviations from the samples and the P -value method; use μ1
for the average age of resident students. Assume σ1=4.1 and
(a) State the hypotheses and identify the claim.
(b) Find the critical value(s). Round the answer(s) to at least two decimal places. If there is more than one critical value, separate them with commas.
Critical value(s):
(c) Compute the test value. Always round z score values to at least two decimal places.
Z=
(d) Make the decision.
