Testing the Difference Between Two Means In Exercises 1524, (a) identify the claim and state H0, and Ha, (b) find the critical value(s) and identify the rejection region(s), (c) find the standardized test statistic z, (d) decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis, and (e) interpret the decision in the context of the original claim. Assume the samples are random and independent, and the populations are normally distributed. If convenient, use technology.Repair Costs: Washing Machines You want to buy a washing machine,and a salesperson tells you that the mean repair costs for Model A andModel B are equal. You research the repair costs. The mean repair cost of24 Model A washing machines is $208. Assume the population standarddeviation is $18. The mean repair cost of 26 Model B washing machinesis $221. Assume the population standard deviation is $22. At a = 0.05, canyou reject the salespersons claim?
