a. State the decision rule. (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)b. Compute the pooled estimate of the population variance. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)c. Compute the test statistic. (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)d. State your decision about the null hypothesis.multiple choice 1Reject H0.Do not reject H0.e. The p-value ismultiple choice 2between 0.05 and 0.02.less than 0.001.between 0.05 and 0.1.between 0.001 and 0.01.between 0.1 and 0.2.

The null and alternate hypotheses are: Ho : M1 = H2 H1 : M1 # H2 A random sample of 11 observations from one population revealed a sample mean of 24 and a sample standard deviation of 4.6. A random sample of 8 observations from another population revealed a sample mean of 29 and a sample standard deviation of 4.1. The population standard deviations are unknown but assumed to be equal. At the 0.05 significance level, is there a difference between the population means? Required: a. State the decision rule. (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) The decision rule is to reject Ho if t
