Stats Problem for Homework
I was wondering what kind of hypothesis testing i should use for this question?
Do female college students pay more for haircuts on average than male college students? Conduct a test of this question using a 3 percent level of significance.
The following data were gathered from Math 10 students taking class Fall 2008.:
Males: 12, 12, 10, 60, 14, 8, 0, 15, 15, 0, 0, 10, 0, 10, 12, 9, 17, 17, 14, 22, 20, 25
Females: 25, 20, 15, 70, 36, 50, , 8, 9, 20, 8, 55, 55, 90, 25, 8, 50, 50, 20, 17, 20, 40,
25, 35, 25, 60, 50, 40, 15, 10, 5
According to my friend, they believe H-null is mu1=mu2, and that it is a two tailed test. Is that right?

[quote=Ateric]They're claiming that females pay more per haircut on average than male? Would that not be H-null: m1 > m2, then your alternate would be that h1: m1 < m2? I was never good at setting up my null hypotheses'.[/quote]
Yeah i was thinking that.
Student t-test
ap stats?
Lol yeah i know that by common sense. But this is Stats. Someone help! lol
Well using common sense .. male Haircuts are like 50% cheaper than females cuts, and that's excluding layering..
So yes, females in general pay more for haircuts all the time.
No idea on your homework though.
