    Z testing in maths
    The management of a company would like to compare the time (in hours per week) that workers in two departments spend on physical exercise. A summary of the available information is given in the table below.



    Dept I 29(Sample Size) 1.41(Sample Mean) 0.79(Sample Standard Deviation)
    Dept II 27(Sample Size) 2.00(Sample Mean) 0.64(Sample Standard Deviation)

    A two-sample z-test is to be used to determine whether there is a difference, at the 5% significance level, between the mean time spent by Departments I and II. Choose the TWO options that give the
    Magnitude of the test statistic z, to two decimal places, and the conclusion obtained from the test.


    Options for Question
    A 0.59
    B 0.64
    C 1.65
    D 2.70
    E 3.08
    F 3.89
    G There seems to be a significant difference, at the 5% significance level,
    Between the mean times spent by Departments I and II.

    H There seems to be no significant difference, at the 5% significance
    Level, between the mean times spent by Departments I and II.
