A sample of 36 observations is selected from one population with a population standard deviation of 4.2. The sample mean is 101.5. A sample of 50 observations is selected from a second population with a population standard deviation of 5.0. The sample mean is 100.1. Conduct the following test of hypothesis using the 0.10 significance level. H0 : μ1 = μ2H1 : μ1 ≠ μ2a. This is atailed test. b. State the decision rule. (Negative values should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)The decision rule is to reject H0 if z is the interval. c. Compute the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Value of the test statistic d. What is your decision regarding H0?e. What is the p-value? (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

the null and the alternative hypothesis are computed as :

This is a two tailed test

This is because of the ≠ sign in the alternative hypothesis which signifies that the rejection region in the alternative hypothesis are at the both sides of the hypothesized mean difference .

Decision Rule: at the level of significance ∝ = 0 . 10

The decision rule is to reject the null hypothesis if z < - 1 . 64 and z > 1 . 64

NOTE: DURING THE MOMENT OF TYPING THIS ANSWER THERE IS A TECHNICAL ISSUE WHICH MAKES ME TO BE UNABLE TO SUBMIT THE FULL ANSWER BUT I'VE MADE SCREENSHOTS OF THEM AND THEY CAN BE FOUND IN THE ATTACHED FILE BELOW

answer: the price of one pound cabbage = $ 0.8

the point (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds cabbage is $ 8

step-by-step explanation:

since, here is a proportional relation between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y).

therefore, we can write,

⇒ y = k x

where k is the constant of proportionality.

now, point (5,4) is in the line.

thus, it will satisfies the above equation of line.

⇒ 4 = 5 k

⇒ k = 0.8

thus, the equation of the line is,

y = 0.8 x

a) for x = 1,

y = 0.8

therefore, the cost of one pound of cabbage is 0.8 dollars.

b) in the below graph (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds of cabbage is 8 dollars.
