You wish to test the following claim (Ha\displaystyle {H}_{{a}}) at a significance level of α=0.002\displaystyle \alpha={0.002}.

      Ho:μ1=μ2\displaystyle {H}_{{o}}:\mu_{{1}}=\mu_{{2}}
      Ha:μ1μ2\displaystyle {H}_{{a}}:\mu_{{1}}\ne\mu_{{2}}

You believe both populations are normally distributed, but you do not know the standard deviations for either. Assume you should use a non-pooled test. You obtain the following two samples of data.
Sample #1 Sample #2
88.991.883.6
54.749.366
88.953.761.1
77.774.272.1
56.451.850.2
66.555.971.6
65.362.560.2
55.965.359.1
64.751.151.8
60.653.849.2
60.64653.3


What is the critical value for this test? For this calculation, use the degrees of freedom reported from the technology you are using. (Report answer accurate to three decimal places.)
critical value = ±\displaystyle \pm

What is the test statistic for this sample? (Report answer accurate to three decimal places.)
