The two agents are charged the same monthly fee for this service and it is assumed that they will each receive approximately half the calls coming in.

(c) A study on online shopping habits found that men spend a mean of $2,401, whereas women spend a mean of $1,527. Suppose that the study was based on a sample of 600 men and 700 females, and the standard deviation of the amount spent was $1,200 for men and $1,000 for women.
At the 0.01 level of significance, is there evidence that the mean amount spent is higher for men than for women? 1.5 marks
