For each data point, they will record the date and sales. a. How would you analyze this data? • State the null and alternative hypothesis. • What statistical test would you use?

How would you analyze this data?
Since the data are collected in two different time periods, we consider this as two independent samples. We have to apply two independent sample procedure to compare the whether the two population means are different.
State the null and alternative hypothesis.
This is a two sided test.
What statistical test would you use?
Since sample size is 52 (>30) we can use parametric procedure to compare two population means.
We can use Independent sample t test.
