Ms. Lisa Monnin is the budget director for Nexus Media Inc. She would like to compare the daily travel expenses for the sales staff and the audit staff. She collected the following sample information.
Sales ($) | 130 | 136 | 147 | 161 | 132 | 147 | |
Audit ($) | 128 | 107 | 130 | 141 | 141 | 108 | 140 |
At the 0.025 significance level, can she conclude that the mean daily expenses are greater for the sales staff than the audit staff?
