Results The results are:
Two–Sample Z–Test
Menu name Z–Test: µ1–µ2
On the basis of two samples, each from a separate population,
this test measures the strength of the evidence for a selected
hypothesis against the null hypothesis. The null hypothesis is
that the mean of the two populations are equal (H
0
: µ
1
= µ
2
).
You select one of the following alternative hypotheses against
which to test the null hypothesis:
