ANSWER:Step 1 of 5
Based on the given information we know that a random sample from population 1 has sample size , sample mean and sample standard deviation .
On the other hand, a random sample from population 2 has a sample size , sample mean and sample standard deviation . We assume that both populations are normal distributed and independent.
