It’s assumed that students need to stay awake more to study during finals week.  One way to measure this is how much coffee is consumed during Finals week at night.  A local coffee house near APU counted the number of cups of coffee sold per hour during Finals week after 6 p.m.  We randomly select ten (10) hours of sales records during Finals week and find out that the following number of cups of coffee were consumed:

18, 17, 22, 14, 17, 20, 22, 24, 15, 15

By comparison, the sales records from a previous week were used as a comparison.  The following number of cups of coffee were consumed over a seven (7) hour period:

9, 13, 5, 15, 17, 10, 11
