Some studies have shown that in the United States, men spend more than women on Valentine's Day. A researcher wants to estimate how much more men spend by observing the amounts spent for random samples of men and women. We want to estimate the difference (µ men - µ women) using a 90% confidence interval.
a) Find the AD (Anderson-Darling) for both Men and Women (using Minitab). (round to 3 decimal places)
b) Report the endpoints of the 90% confidence interval below. (Round to 1 decimal place)
| Amount(Men) | Amount(Women) | 
| 191 | 10 | 
| 261 | 46 | 
| 173 | 42 | 
| 163 | 48 | 
| 261 | 24 | 
| 62 | 42 | 
| 137 | 48 | 
| 58 | 84 | 
| 205 | 33 | 
| 123 | 34 | 
| 173 | 43 | 
| 236 | 64 | 
a)
H0: The data follows normal distribution
H1: The data does not follows normal distribution
Let the los be alpha = 5%

Test Statistic AD = 0.253
P-value = 0.668
Here P-value > alpha 0.05 so we accept H0
thus we conclude that Amount (Men) follows normal distribution

Test Statistic AD = 0.426
P-value = 0.262
Here P-value > alpha 0.05 so we accept H0
thus we conclude that Amount (Women) follows normal distribution
b) From the given data
