I think the complete question should be:

A researcher has developed a new drug designed to reduce blood pressure. In an experiment, 21 subjects were assigned randomly to the treatment group and received the new experimental drug. The other 23 subjects were assigned to the control group and received a standard well known treatment. After a suitable period of time, the reduction in blood pressure for each subject was recorded.

Treatment group n = 21, x1 mean = 23.48, sd = 8.01

Control group n = 23, x2 = 18.52, sd = 7.15

Based on these data, the computed two-sample t statistic is:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the variances to be calculated from the sd are unequal we use this formula:

t statistics = (x1 - x2) / [(sd1²/n1) + (sd2²/n2) where n1 = 21, x1 mean = 23.48, sd1 = 8.01, n2 = 23, x2 = 18.52, sd2 = 7.15

Thus, we have

test statistic= (23.48-18.52) / [(8.01²/21) + (7.15²/23)]

Test statistics = 4.96 / (324.36/21)+(51.12/23)]

Test statistics = 4.96/ (15.45+2.43)

t statistic = 4.96 / 17.88

t statistics = 0.2774

I hope that helps, you can use this to solve for tours if the values are not the same

the answer would be 1 1/72

step-by-step explanation:

you can rewrite the equation by separating the parts and then solving individually:

10-9=1

1/8 - 1/9=

find l c d and then combine:

1 1/72
