QuestionEssays A professor wishes to see if two groups of students' essays differ in lengths, that is, the number of words in each essay. The professor randomly selects 12 essays from a group of students who are science majors and 10 essays from a group of humanities majors to compare. The data are shown. At , can it be concluded that there is a difference in the lengths of the essays between the two groups?
Science majors
Humanities majors
\begin{tabular}{llllllllll}
2604 & 2069 & 2123 & 1468 & 1952 & 2573 & 1886 & 2921 & 2237 & 2757

Studdy Solution
Determine the critical value(s) for the two-tailed test using the t-distribution table with the calculated degrees of freedom and .
For a two-tailed test, find the t-value such that the cumulative probability is in each tail.
The critical value(s) are:
