Experts from the Dean's Office decided to conduct a comparative study of final exam grades between two independently collected groups of students. Sample sizes were equal:n1=n2= 9.In addition, records from each group were assumed to be normal with KNOWN population standard deviations. Summaries and assumptions are presented in the table below.

Group Size =n Mean =X Population SD = 2/n
HISTORY n1= 9 (X)1= 65.8 1= 9 (1)2/n= 81/9 = 9
STAT n2= 9 (X)2= 74.7 2= 12 (2)2/n= 144/9 = 16

At the significance level= 0.05,do you have sufficient evidence that the population average performance among History classes is BELOW that in STAT?
