A group of economists wants to compare the mean annual leave among the US and EU workers. Two
samples of US and EU workers were obtained independently and analyzed.
The sample of 45 US workers had the mean annual leave of 18.8 days and the standard deviation 9.05 days.
The sample of 31 EU workers had the mean annual leave of 25.6 days and the standard deviation 5.38 days.
Use 4% level of significance to decide whether there is sufficient evidence that mean annual leave of US
workers is less than mean annual leave of EU workers.
Procedure: Two means T Hypothesis Test
Assumptions: (select everything that applies)
Normal populations
The number of positive and negative responses are both greater than 10 for both samples
Population standard deviations are known
Simple random samples
Population standard deviation are unknown and not assumed equal
Sample sizes are both greater than 30
