b) what is the value of the sample test statistics? round your answer to three decimal places

A random sample of n, = 10 regions in New England gave the following violent crime rates (per million population). x1: New England Crime Rate 3.5 3.9 4.2 4.1 3.3 4.1 1.8 4.8 2.9 3.1 Another random sample of n, = 12 regions in the Rocky Mountain states gave the following violent crime rates (per million population). x,: Rocky Mountain Crime Rate 3.5 4.3 4.5 5.3 3.3 4.8 3.5 2.4 3.1 3.5 5.2 2.8 Assume that the crime rate distribution is approximately normal in both regions. (i) Use a calculator to calculate x, , S., x,, and s,. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) XJ = = (ii) Do the data indicate that the violent crime rate in the Rocky Mountain region is higher than in New England? Use a = 0.01. (a) What is the level of significance? State the null and alternate hypotheses. (b) What sampling distribution will you use? What assumptions are you making? The Student's r. We assume that both population distributions are approximately normal with known standard deviations
