Question 6 of 23 1.0 Points
Q-Mart is interested in comparing its male and female customers. Q-Mart would like to know if the amount of money
spent by its female charge customers differs, on average, from the amount spent by its male charge customers.
To answer this question, an analyst collected random samples of 25 female customers and 22 male customers. Based
on these samples, on average, the 25 women charge customers spent $102.23 and the 22 men charge customers
spent $86.46. Moreover, the sample standard deviation of the amount charged by the 25 women was $93.393, and the
sample standard deviation of the amount charged by the 22 men was $59.695.
Using the procedure advocated by Bluman, at the 10% level of significance, is there sufficient evidence for Q-Mart to
conclude that, on average, the amount spent by women charge customers differs from the amount spent by men
charge customers.

a sample standard deviation of 7.

Question 16 of 23 3.0 Points
Accepted characters: numbers, decimal point markers (period or comma), sign indicators (-), spaces (e.g., as
thousands separator, 5 000), “E” or “e” (used in scientific notation). NOTE: For scientific notation, a period MUST be
used as the decimal point marker.
Complex numbers should be in the form (a + bi) where “a” and “b” need to have explicitly stated values.
For example: {1+1i} is valid whereas {1+i} is not. {0+9i} is valid whereas {9i} is not.
Staples, a chain of large office supply stores, sells a line of desktop and laptop computers. Company
executives want to know whether the demands for these two types of computers are dependent on one
another. Each day’s demand for each type of computers is categorized as Low, Medium-Low, Medium-
High, or High. The data shown in the table below is based on 200 days of operation. Based on these data,
can Staples conclude that demands for these two types of computers are independent? Test at the 5% level
