    Pooled Estimate Of Population Variance =

    sp^2 = ((n1-1)s1^2 +(n1-1)s2^2)/((n1-1)+(n2-1))

    n1 = 15
    n2= 23
    (s1)^2 = 6.5
    (s2)^2 = 4.5

    sp^2 = ((15-1)6.5 +(23-1)4.5)/(14+22)
    =((14x6.5)+(22x4.5))/36
    =( 91+99 )/36
    =190/36
    =5.278

    Pooled Estimate Of Population Variance=5.278
    1 0
