The data presented in the table below resulted from an experiment in which seeds of 5 different types were planted and

 

the number of seeds that germinated within 5 weeks after planting was recorded for each seed type. At the .01

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.No, the p-value of this test is less than 0.10.

 

B.Yes, the test value does not exceed the critical value
