In case you missed it, the United Nations declared 2008 as the International Year of the Potato. Seriously, potatoes are a good source of carbohydrates, protein, fiber, and potassium. However, the amount of each element varies depending on where the potato is grown. Independent random samples of medium-sized potatoes from Russia and China were obtained, and the amount of potassium (in mg) was measured in each. The data are summarized in the following table.

Assume normality and equal population variances. Is there any evidence to suggest that the population mean potassium level is different for a medium-sized potato in Russia and China? Use a = 0.05.
