题目
Ansal is investigating the wingspans of Monarch butterflies in two different regions, and . He takes a random sample of 8 Monarch butterflies from region and records their wingspans, cm. His results are as follows.
Ansal also takes a random sample of 9 Monarch butterflies from region and records their wingspans, cm. His results are summarised as follows.
Ansal suspects that the mean wingspan of Monarch butterflies from region is greater than the mean wingspan of Monarch butterflies from region . It is known that the wingspans of Monarch butterflies in regions and are normally distributed with equal population variances.
Test, at the 10% significance level, whether Ansal’s suspicion is supported by the data.

Ansal 正在调查两个不同地区 和 的帝王蝶翼展。他从地区 随机抽取 8 只帝王蝶,并记录它们的翼展 cm。结果如下。
Ansal 还从地区 随机抽取 9 只帝王蝶,并记录它们的翼展 cm。结果总结如下。
Ansal 怀疑地区 的帝王蝶平均翼展大于地区 的帝王蝶平均翼展。已知地区 和 的帝王蝶翼展服从正态分布,且总体方差相等。
在 10% 显著性水平下检验数据是否支持 Ansal 的怀疑。

Let and be the population mean wingspans in the two regions. Test against . The sample means are and . The pooled variance estimate is
The test statistic is
With degrees of freedom, the upper critical value is . Since , we fail to reject . There is insufficient evidence at the level that the population mean wingspan is greater in region .
