school is 83 which differ from the list of engineering students who enroll at
the university which is 72. Assume that the data were obtained from the two
samples of 65 schools each and that the standard deviations were 5.62 and
4.88, respectively. At α =0.01, can it be concluded that there is a significant
difference in the list?
