Find the test statistic, t, to test the hypothesis that μ₁=μ₂. Two samples are randomly selected and come from populations that are normal. The sample statistics are given below:
Sample 1:
- Sample size (n₁): 25
- Sample mean (xˉ₁): 29
- Sample standard deviation (s₁): 1.5
Sample 2:
- Sample size (n₂): 30
- Sample mean (xˉ₂): 27
- Sample standard deviation (s₂): 1.9
