Do not solve the problem just identify the equations you wou
Do not solve the problem, just identify the equations you would use for CI and Hypothesis.

Formulating the null and alternative hypotheses,
Ho: u1 - u2 <= 0
Ha: u1 - u2 > 0
At level of significance = 0.05
As we can see, this is a right tailed test.
Calculating the means of each group,
X1 = 2127
X2 = 1843
Calculating the standard deviations of each group,
s1 = 513
s2 = 446
Thus, the standard error of their difference is, by using sD = sqrt(s1^2/n1 + s2^2/n2):
n1 = sample size of group 1 = 13
n2 = sample size of group 2 = 14
Thus, df = n1 + n2 - 2 = 25
Also, sD = 185.6126476
Thus, the t statistic will be
t = [X1 - X2 - uD]/sD = 1.530068148
where uD = hypothesized difference = 0
Now, the critical value for t is
tcrit = 1.708140761
Thus, comparing t and tcrit, we decide to WE FAIL TO REJECT THE NULL HYPOTHESIS.
Also, using p values,
p = 0.069278108
Comparing this to the significance level, WE FAIL TO REJECT THE NULL HYPOTHESIS.

M.
Note that
p^ = point estimate of the population proportion = x / n = 0.54
Also, we get the standard error of p, sp:
sp = sqrt[p^ (1 - p^) / n] = 0.017094891
Now, for the critical z,
alpha/2 = 0.025
Thus, z(alpha/2) = 1.959963985
Thus,
Margin of error = z(alpha/2)*sp = 0.03350537
lower bound = p^ - z(alpha/2) * sp = 0.50649463
upper bound = p^ + z(alpha/2) * sp = 0.57350537
Thus, the confidence interval is
( 0.50649463 , 0.57350537 ) [ANSWER]
