Answer:
Following are the responses to the given question:
Step-by-step explanation:
For point a:
Following are the null and alternative hypotheses:
[tex]H_0 : \mu_1 \leq \mu_2\\\\H_1 : \mu_1 > \mu_2[/tex]
For point b:
By using the Excel we obtained the output of the 2 sample t-test that is defined in the attached file.
These point estimately are the difference among the mean for the two populations:
[tex]\to \mu_{\bar{x_1}-\bar{x_2}} = \mu_{\bar{x_1}}-\mu{\bar{x_2}} ={\bar{x_1}-\bar{x_2}}=573-491=82[/tex]
