I\'m confused on the calculations and how to set the problem up.
Question #46. Concentration of thiol in the lysate of blood was determined for two groups of volunteers: (1) Group I (healthy volunteers) and (2) Group II (volunteers suffering from rheumatoid arthritis). The following data was obtained: Group I: 1.84, 1.92, 1.94. 1.92. 1.85, 1.91, 2.07 Group II: 2.81, 4.06, 3.62, 3.27, 3.27, 3.76 A t-test (P = 0.05 or 95% confidence level) based on this data should lead to this conclusion regarding the means obtained for the two groups of volunteers: (1) The two means differ significantly: (2) The two means do not differ significantly; (3) Not enough data to draw a conclusion: (4) None of the aboveSolution
Therefore, the answer is 1) The two means differe significantly
| Sample size n1= | 7 |
| Sample size n2 = | 6 |
| Mean Xbar1 = | 1.921429 |
| Mean Xbar2 = | 3.465 |
| S1= | 0.075593 |
| S2 | 0.440488 |
| Significance level alpha | 0.05 |
| Degrees of freedom df= | 11 |
| Pooled variance S^2 = (n1s1^2+n2S2^2)/(n1+n2-2)= | 0.091312 |
