Assumptions:
a) Simple Random Samples and Independent Samples
b) Normal Difference or Large Sample
c) σ1 and σ2 Unknown
d) σ1 ≠ σ2 (Variances are unequal)


Step 1: Set up null and alternative hypotheses.

H0: μ1 = μ2                   (Note: H0: μ1 = μ2 ⇔ H0: μ1 - μ2 = 0)

H1: μ1 < μ2                   (Note: H1: μ1 < μ2 ⇔ H1: μ1 - μ2 < 0)



Step 2: Input α (level of significance of hypothesis test).

α =     (Note: α = level of significance of hypothesis test   = probability of making Type I error.)



Step 3: Input x̅1, x̅2, σ1, σ2, n1, and n2; and then calculate test statistic

1 for population 1:           

s1 (population 1 standard deviation) =

n1 (sample size 1) =



2 for population 2:           

s2 (population 2 standard deviation) =

n2 (sample size 2) =

Blank              (Note: From Step 1, we have H0: μ1 = μ2 ⇔ H0: μ1 - μ2 = 0; therefore, μ1 - μ2 = 0)





Step 4: Determine P-value

Using the test statistic in Step 3 as a t-score, we will find the left-tailed area corresponding to this t-score.
(Note: We use the t-distribution since the population stanadard deviations (σ1 and σ2) are unknown.)
