Z = (mean1 - mean2)/standard error (SE) of difference between means
SEdiff = √(SEmean1^2 + SEmean2^2)
SEm = SD/√n
If only one SD is provided, you can use just that to determine SEdiff. Essentially it becomes just SEm.
Find table in the back of your statistics text labeled something like "areas under normal distribution" to find the proportion related to that Z score.
Use that to make you decision.
