A researcher claims that the stomachs of blue crabs fromLocation A contain more fish than the stomachs of blue crabs fromLocation B. The stomach contents of a sample of 16 bluecrabs from Location A contain a mean of 195 milligrams offish and a standard deviation of 38 milligrams. Thestomach contents of a sample of 9blue crabs from Location Bcontain a mean of 188 milligrams of fish and a standarddeviation of 41 milligrams. At α=0.05, can yousupport the researcher's claim? Assume the populationvariances are equal. Complete parts (a) through (d)below.
