A researcher at the Nie Pójdzie Motor Club is interested in theaverage repair bill for automobile owners when the “check engineâ€light comes on. He believes that automobiles manufactured overseas(Import) will have lower repair costs (in dollars) than automobilesmanufactured in the United States (Domestic). A random sample fromeach type of manufacturer was drawn.  Â
The Data Analysis output for the various tests used whencomparing two group means are shown below. The significance levelwas .05. Â Â Identify which two sample test shouldbe performed from the scenario and from the following outputs.Then, answer the questions (a to f) using the correct t testoutput. (3.5 pts.)

b) State the H0 and Ha.
c) Identify the decision rule using the critical value of t(round to three decimal places).
d) Identify the decision rule using the p value method.
e) State the test statistic (t calc).
f) Do you reject or not reject Ho? Explain your decision.
