The t-Distribution for the Difference of Two Means (4/1)

μ1μ2\mu1-\mu2

We write as: μ1μ2=0\mu1-\mu2=0

Ho: μ1μ2=0\mu1-\mu2=0

Ha: μ1μ20\mu1-\mu2\ne0

Conditions:

Both samples are approximately normal ( n1 30\ge30 , n2 30\ge30 )

Independent: Random, < 10% of population

Independent observations between samples: The 2 samples are not related
