You want to see if that is true and have bought 25 bottles of Extreme Ajax+ and 25 bottles of Ajax and collected data on how many dirty dis

Task 1 Find the standard deviations of the two samples


Task 2 State the Null Hypothesis
Task 3 Determine the Z-score
Task 4 Find the p-value
Task 5 Interpret the result

Solution:
