Question:

The table given below shows the results of a random survey of vacationers in each state. The two samples are independent. Assume that σ1 = $24 for Alaska and σ2 = $19 for Colorado, and that both populations are normally distributed. At α = 0.05, is there enough evidence to support the claim? [H0: μ1 ≤ μ2 and Ha: μ1 > μ2 (claim)]
a. Use technology to find the test statistic or the P-value.
b. Decide whether to reject the null hypothesis.
