Problem 10

Two independent samples are taken to compare the average recovery times (in days) under two physical therapy protocols. Sample 11 has n1=25n_1 = 25, sample mean xˉ1=10.5\bar{x}_1 = 10.5, and sample standard deviation s1=12.5s_1 = \sqrt{12.5}. Sample 22 has n2=25n_2 = 25, sample mean xˉ2=8.5\bar{x}_2 = 8.5, and sample standard deviation s2=12.5s_2 = \sqrt{12.5}. Assume unequal variances. Perform a two-sided two-sample tt-test for the difference in means μ1μ2\mu_1-\mu_2. What is the PP-value for this test?
