An agricultural company is trying to decide which type of fertilizer to use on its crops. The company concerned with the average yield on its crops as well as the variance of their yields. In a sample of 41 different fields with using fertilizer A, the average crop yield per acre is 188 tons with a standard deviation of 33 tons. In a separate sample of 41 different fields using fertilizer B, the average crop yield is 172 tons with a standard deviation of 28 tons. When testing the hypothesis (at the 1% level of significance) that there is no difference between the averageyields using the different fertilizers, what is the test statistic? (please round your answer to 2 decimal places)
