find that the mean score of Group 1 is $\\overline{x}_1=\\var{m1}$ with standard deviation $s_1=\\var{sd1}$ and the mean score of Group 2 is $\\overline{x}_2=\\var{m2}$ with standard deviation $s_2=\\var{sd2}$.</p>\n    <p>All calculated to 3 decimal places.</p>\n    <p>Using the formula for the two-sample t-statistic as &nbsp;shown above with $n_1=n_2=10$:</p>\n    <p>The estimate of the pooled variance is calculated to be:</p>\n    <p>\\[s^2=\\frac{(n_1-1)s_1^2+(n_2-1)s_2^2}{n_1+n_2-2}= \\frac{\\var{n1-1}\\times \\var{sd1}^2+\\var{n2-1}\\times \\var{sd2}^2}{\\var{n1+n2-2}}=\\var{s^2}.\\]&nbsp;</p>\n    <p>Hence $s= \\sqrt{\\var{s^2}}=\\var{s}$ to 3 decimal places.</p>\n    <p>We find that the t-statistic has value:</p>\n

to 3 decimal places.</p>\n    <p>Our test statistic is $|T|=\\var{abs(tvalue)}$.</p>\n    <p>Given that we have $n_1+n_2-2=18$ degrees of freedom, we look up this value on the T-distribution table for $t_{18}$</p>\n    <p>\\[\\begin{array}{r|rrrrr}&amp;0.20&amp;0.10&amp;0.05&amp;0.01&amp;0.001\\\\\\hline18&amp;1.330&amp;1.734&amp;2.101&amp;2.878&amp;3.922\\end{array}\\]</p>\n    <p>We see that the t-statistic {msg[t]} and the table tells us that the $p$ value {pmsg[t]}.</p>\n    <p>Hence we conclude that we {cmsg[t]} the null hypothesis.
