Question:

Researchers at The Wharton School of Business have found that men and women shop for different reasons. While women enjoy the shopping experience, men are on a mission to get the job done. Men do not shop as frequently, but when they do, they make big purchases like expensive electronics. The accompanying table shows a portion of the amount spent over the weekend by 40 men and 60 women at a local mall; the complete data set, labeled Spending_Gender, can be found on the text website. It is reasonable to assume that the population variances are equal.
