A sociologist studying fertility in the United States and Canada wanted to compare how many babies, on average, women in each country have. The sociologist obtained a random sample of 88 women from each country. Here is a summary of the number of babies for the women in each sample:
Number of babiesUSCanada
Mean1.971.65
Standard deviation1.761.41
Number of women8888
They want to use these results to test H0μUSμC=0 versus HaμUSμC0. Assume that all conditions have been met.
What is the P-value associated with these sample results?
