Given -
$$\overline{x_1}=67.5\ ,\ \overline{x_2}=68 n{}_{1}=1000 n{}_{2}=2000$$
Step 1 :-
Null Hypothesis (H${}_{0}$):$\mu$${}_{1}$=$\mu$${}_{2}$ Alternative Hypothesis (H${}_{\mathrm{\infty}}$)=$\mu$${}_{1}$$\mathrm{\neq}$$\mu$${}_{2}$ Step 2 :- Test Statistic:- $$\overline{x_1}-\overline{x_2}=67.5-68.0=-0.5$$
Since S.D. of the population is known
$$S.E. S=\sqrt{\frac{{\sigma }^2_1}{n_1}+\frac{{\sigma }^2_2}{n_2}}$$ $$=\sigma \sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2}}$$ $$=\sqrt{\frac{1}{1000}+\frac{1}{2000}}$$ $$=0.097$$ $$\mathrm{\therefore } z=\frac{\overline{x_1}-\overline{x_2}}{s}=\frac{-0.5}{0.097}=-5.15$$
$$\mathrm{\therefore } |z| = 5.15$$
Step 3 :- Level of …
