PROBLEM 2E
(In some of the exercises that follow, we must make assumptions such as the existence of normal distributions with equal variances.)
Let X and Y denote the weights in grams of male and female common gallinules, respectively. Assume that X is N(μX, σ2 X) and Y is N(μY, σ2Y ).
(a) Given n = 16 observations of X and m = 13 observations of Y, define a test statistic and a critical region for testing the null hypothesis H0: μX = μY against the one-sided alternative hypothesisH1: μX > μY. Let α = 0.01. (Assume that the variances are equal.)
(b) Given that 
(c) Although we assumed that σ2 X = σ2Y , let us say we suspect that that equality is not valid. Thus, use the test proposed by Welch.
