Index Numbers and Time Based Data

Question:

For testing the difference between the means of two samples, the following data is available :

  Size Mean Variance
Sample 1 5 40 101
Sample 2 7 30 60

The value of the t0 - statistics is :

Options:

$10\sqrt{\frac{35}{1007}}$

$20\sqrt{\frac{7}{222}}$

$5\sqrt{\frac{7}{222}}$

$\sqrt{\frac{7}{222}}$

Correct Answer:

$10\sqrt{\frac{35}{1007}}$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → $10\sqrt{\frac{35}{1007}}$

To calculate the t-statistics,

$t_0=\frac{\bar{x_1}-\bar{x_2}}{\sqrt{\frac{{s_1}^2}{{n_1}^2}+\frac{{s_2}^2}{{n_2}^2}}}$

$=\frac{40-30}{\sqrt{\frac{101}{5}+\frac{60}{7}}}=10×\sqrt{\frac{35}{101×7+60×5}}$

$=10×\sqrt{\frac{35}{1007}}=10\sqrt{\frac{7}{222}}$
