This video tutorial explains how to conduct a hypothesis test for two population means with unknown standard deviations. It focuses on determining if the mean final exam scores of students taking an online statistics course are lower than those taking it in person. The tutorial covers setting up null and alternative hypotheses, performing a two-sample t-test using a calculator, and interpreting the results to conclude that the online class scores are indeed lower at a 5% significance level.
