A Hollywood studio believes that a movie that is considered a drama will draw a larger crowd on average than a movie that is considered a comedy. To test this theory,
the studio randomly selects several movies that are classified as dramas and several movies that are classified as comedies and determines the box office revenue for
each movie. The results of the survey are as follows. Do the data substantiate the studio's belief that dramas will draw a larger crowd on average than comedies at
