1.　State the appropriate hypotheses that you wish to test to conduct a two-tailed test to compare the population means.

H_o:

H_a:

2. Suppose you were asked to really conduct a one-tailed test. Use the two-tailed printout above to find the test statistic and the p-value for the one-tailed test comparing the two population means.

Test Statistic: _____________ P-Value: _____________

3. Use the confidence interval on the printout to make an inference about which of the two population means is larger. Make sure to state your measure of reliability.
