Q1) You are interested in average number of months MSU graduates spend looking for jobs after graduation as compared to RU students.  You take arbitrary sample of MSU students and random sample of students from RU.  Sample mean for MSU is= 5.7 months and sample standard deviation is= 2.1 months (N=100).  Sample mean for RU is= 2.5 months and sample standard deviation is= 1.1 months (N=100).  Use all of your hypothesis steps to test whether MSU students significantly vary from RU students in average number of months they spend looking for job after graduation. 

Q2) Give critical test statistic and compute sample test statistic. Test null hypothesis at alpha level .01.

Q3) Using evidence, what is your decision about null hypothesis? What does this tell us about how MSU graduates compare to RU graduates?  Do MSU graduates considerably vary from RU graduates in number of months spent looking for job after graduation?
