Answer:

Hello your question has some missing information below is the missing information

Sample mean and Sample standard deviation

Bass 70.99 and 2.52

Tenor 69.41 and 2.79

answer : We will reject H0

Explanation:

Determine whether the population mean height of bass singers > population mean height of tenor singers

n1 = 64 , n2 = 42

x1 ( mean ) = 70.99

x2( mean ) = 69.41

S1 ( std 1 ) = 2.52

S2 ( std 2 ) = 2.79

We will perform a two tailed test hence we will state the null and alternate hypothesis

H0 : μ1 > μ2

H1 : μ1 < μ2

significance level = 0.01

next calculate the test statistic

t = 2.96

attached below is the remaining part of the detailed solution
