QUESTION 15
A survey of 80 men found that an average amount spent on St. Patrick's day of $48 with a standard deviation of $20. A similar survey of 75 women found they spent an average of $42 with a standard deviation of $16. When testing the hypothesis (at the 5% level of significance) that men spend more than women on St. Patrick's day, what is the critical value? (please round your answer to 2 decimal places)
