A researcher takes sample temperatures in Fahrenheit of 18 days from San Antonio and 16 days from Milwaukee. Use the sample data shown in the table.
Test the claim that the mean temperature in San Antonio is less than the mean temperature in Milwaukee. Use a significance level of .
Assume the populations are approximately normally distributed with unequal variances.
Note that list 1 is longer than list 2, so these are 2 independent samples, not matched pairs.

The correct decision is to .
The correct summary would be: the claim that the mean temperature in San Antonio is less than the mean temperature in Milwaukee.
