QUESTION 1

  1. The Wall Street Journal reported that the average amount of time that a French person spends eating lunch at a restaurant is 22 minutes. Perform a hypothesis test to determine if a difference exists between the average time an American spends eating lunch when compared to a person from France. The following data represents the time, in minutes, that random French and American diners spent at lunch. Assume that the population variances are unequal.
