Problem 4

An experiment was conducted to determine whether providing candy to dining parties resulted in a higher tip percentage. The following data were collected on the tip percentages for two independent samples of dining parties:


Sample 1 (No Candy):
Sample size (n1)=40(n{_1})=40
Mean tip percentage (xˉ1)=15(\bar{x}_1)=15
Standard deviation (s1)=4(s_1{})=4


Sample 2 (Candy Given):
Sample size (n2)=45(n_2)=45
Mean tip percentage (xˉ2=18(\bar{x}_2=18
Standard deviation (s2)=5(s_2)=5


Use a 0.050.05 significance level to test the claim that giving candy results in greater tips.
