In each of Exercises 10.35-10.38, we have provided summary statistics for independent simple random samples from two populations. Preliminary data analyses indicate that the variable under consideration is normally distributed on each population. Decide, in each case, whether use of the pooled -lest and pooled -interval procedure is reasonable. Explain your answer.
10.37
A variable of two population has a mean of and standard deviation of for one of the population and a mean of and a standard deviation of for the other population.
a. For independent samples of sizes respectively find the mean and standard deviation of
b. Must the variable under consideration be normally distributed on each of the two population for you to answer part (a) ? Explain your answer.
b. Can you conclude that the variable is normally distributed? Explain your answer.

The primary concern is deciding whether the mean of Population 1 differs from the mean of Population 2 .
The primary concern is deciding whether the mean of Population 1 is greater than the mean of Population 2
