To calculate the independent sample t-test for equal variances, we can follow the following steps:
Step 1: State the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis:
- Null hypothesis (H0): There is no significant difference between the mean of seconds and the mean of speed.
- Alternative hypothesis (H1): There is a significant difference between the mean of seconds and the mean of speed.
Step 2: Determine the significance level (alpha):
- alpha = 0.05 (given in the question)
Step 3: Calculate the test statistic:
- Using the formula for the independent sample t-test with equal variances:
t = (mean1 - mean2) / sqrt((s1^2/n1) + (s2^2/n2))
where:
mean1 and mean2 are the means of the two samples (seconds and speed)
s1 and s2 are the standard deviations of the two samples
n1 and n2 are the sizes of the two samples
Step 4: Determine the degrees of freedom:
- Degrees of freedom = (n1 - 1) + (n2 - 1)
Step 5: Determine the critical value:
- We can use a t-distribution table or a statistical calculator to determine the critical value for the given alpha level and degrees of freedom.
Step 6: Compare the test statistic with the critical value to make a decision:
- If the absolute value of the test statistic is greater than the critical value, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is a significant difference between the mean of seconds and the mean of speed.
- If the absolute value of the test statistic is less than or equal to the critical value, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is no significant difference between the mean of seconds and the mean of speed.

Using alpha 0.05 if there is significance difference between seconds and speed.
Given:
- Sample size for seconds (n1) = 10
- Sample size for speed (n2) = 10
- Significance level (alpha) = 0.05
Now, let's calculate the test statistic for the independent sample t-test with equal variance:
1. Calculate the mean of seconds (mean1) and speed (mean2):
- mean1 = (144 + 149.2 + 148.2 + 149 + 149.6 + 146.8 + 148.6 + 149.8 + 149 + 148.2) / 10 = 147.96
- mean2 = (37.5 + 36.193029 + 36.437247 + 36.241611 + 36.096257 + 36.784741 + 36.339166 + 36.048064 + 36.241611 + 36.437247) / 10 = 36.498956
2. Calculate the standard deviation for seconds (s1) and speed (s2):
- Calculate the sum of squared differences from the mean for both samples:
- For seconds: (144 - 147.96)^2 + (149.2 - 147.96)^2 + ... + (148.2 - 147.96)^2 = 17.5328
- For speed: (37.5 - 36.498956)^2 + (36.193029 - 36.498956)^2 + ... + (36.437247 - 36.498956)^2 = 0.413861
- Calculate the variance for both samples:
- For seconds: s1^2 = 17.5328 / (10 - 1) = 1.953644444
- For speed: s2^2 = 0.413861 / (10 - 1) = 0.0460401111
- Calculate the standard deviation for both samples:
- For seconds: s1 = sqrt(1.953644444) = 1.397470126
- For speed: s2 = sqrt(0.0460401111) = 0.2146847831
3. Calculate the test statistic:
- t = (mean1 - mean2) / sqrt((s1^2 / n1) + (s2^2 / n2))
= (147.96 - 36.498956) / sqrt((1.397470126^2 / 10) + (0.2146847831^2 / 10))
= 111.461044 / sqrt(0.1960935412 + 0.0004591013)
= 111.461044 / sqrt(0.1965526426)
= 111.461044 / 0.443157662
= 251.4670661278
4. Determine the degrees of freedom:
- Degrees of freedom = (n1 - 1) + (n2 - 1)
= (10 - 1) + (10 - 1)
= 18
5. Determine the critical value:
- For alpha = 0.05 and degrees of freedom = 18, using a t-distribution table or statistical calculator, the critical value is approximately 2.101.
6. Compare the test statistic with the critical value:
- Since the absolute value of the test statistic (251.4670661278) is greater than the critical value (2.101), we reject the null hypothesis.
Therefore, we conclude that there is a significant difference between the mean of seconds and the mean of speed at the significance level of 0.05.
To calculate an independent sample t-test for equal variance, we need to follow these steps:
Step 1: State the null hypothesis (H0) and alternative hypothesis (Ha):
H0: There is no significant difference between the mean seconds and the mean speed.
Ha: There is a significant difference between the mean seconds and the mean speed.
Step 2: Set the significance level (α) to 0.05.
Step 3: Calculate the sample means (x̄1 and x̄2) and sample standard deviations (s1 and s2) for the seconds and speed data.
For seconds:
Sample mean (x̄1) = (144 + 149.2 + 148.2 + 149 + 149.6 + 146.8 + 148.6 + 149.8 + 149 + 148.2) / 10 = 147.94
Sample standard deviation (s1) = √((144−147.94)² + (149.2−147.94)² + (148.2−147.94)² + (149−147.94)² + (149.6−147.94)² + (146.8−147.94)² + (148.6−147.94)² + (149.8−147.94)² + (149−147.94)² + (148.2−147.94)²) / (10−1) = 1.343
For speed:
Sample mean (x̄2) = (37.5 + 36.193029 + 36.437247 + 36.241611 + 36.096257 + 36.784741 + 36.339166 + 36.048064 + 36.241611 + 36.437247) / 10 = 36.6117
Sample standard deviation (s2) = √((37.5−36.6117)² + (36.193029−36.6117)² + (36.437247−36.6117)² + (36.241611−36.6117)² + (36.096257−36.6117)² + (36.784741−36.6117)² + (36.339166−36.6117)² + (36.048064−36.6117)² + (36.241611−36.6117)² + (36.437247−36.6117)²) / (10−1) = 0.454
Step 4: Calculate the t-value using the formula:
t = (x̄1 - x̄2) / √((s1²/n1) + (s2²/n2))
t = (147.94 - 36.6117) / √((1.343²/10) + (0.454²/10))
Step 5: Calculate the degrees of freedom (df) using the formula:
df = n1 + n2 - 2
df = 10 + 10 - 2 = 18
Step 6: Calculate the critical value from the t-table using the significance level (α) and degrees of freedom (df).
Step 7: Compare the calculated t-value and critical value. If the calculated t-value is greater than the critical value, reject the null hypothesis; otherwise, fail to reject the null hypothesis.
