HAl. An online retailer wanted to see if purchasing patterns were different between male consumers and female consumers. Males were found to have spent a mean of $85 per month on online purchases, whereas females were found to have spent a mean of $78 per month. An independent samples t-test was conducted to assess the observed difference between the two groups of consumers. A two-tailed test was applied. The value of the t-Test Statistic for the observed differences was -4.7, where the p-value is less than 0.0002. What conclusion can be made about the observed difference? (Points : 1)
There is a statistically significant difference between the two groups of consumers.
There is statistically no significant difference between the two groups of consumers.
The independent samples t-test is not the appropriate hypothesis-testing procedure.
There is not sufficient information to conclude.

variances
means
distributions
proportions

is based on new information provided by sample data
is based on new information provided by population data


Question 20.20. To determine if there was a statistically significant difference in the means of two independent groups, which statistical tool would one be most likely to employ to assess the significance of any observed difference? (Points : 1)
