Suppose we wanted to test the idea that a control group of cancer patients (Group 1) would report higher mean pain ratings than an experimental group receiving special massage treatments (Group 2).Use the following information.Compute a t-statistic for independent groups:

mean group 1 = 78.1SD21 (variance) = 49.1n1 = 25

mean group 2 = 74.1SD22 (variance) = 59.7n2 = 25

What are the degrees of freedom and the value of t ? Using =0.05 for a two-tailed test, is this t statistic significant?Show your calculations (or StatCrunch output) for full credit.
