Question 9 The marks obtained in a Statistics paper by a random sample of 200 male students have x=54.6 and s² = 101.3. On the same paper, a random sample of 150 female students had a mean mark of 57.1, with s² =92.4. Assuming a common population variance, obtained a pooled estimate of this variance, and test at 1% significance level, whether there is significant evidence of a difference in the two population means.
