A two-sample tt-test for a difference in means will be conducted to investigate whether the average amount of money spent per customer at Department Store M is different from that at Department Store V. From a random sample of 35 customers at Store M, the average amount spent was $300 with standard deviation $40. From a random sample of 40 customers at Store V, the average amount spent was $290 with standard deviation $35. Assuming a nuk hypothesis of no difference in population means, which of the following is the test statistic for the appropriate test to investigate whether there is a difference in population means Department Store M minus Department Store V?
A. t= √300-290 /35^2/40 + 40^2/35
B. t = 300-290 / √40^2 +35^2 / 35+40
C. t= 300-290 / √40+35 / 35+40
D. t= 300-290 / √40^2 /35 +35^2/ 40
E. t= 300-290 /√40 /35+ 35/40
a. A
b. B
