Suppose random samples are taken from the population of college male and female students.

The sample data results have a standard deviation of $75 for the men and a standard deviation of $50 for the women.

a. If both samples are of size 20, what is the standard error for the difference of two means?

b. Assuming normality in leisure activity expenditures, is the difference found in the ICR poll significant at   0.05 if the samples in part a are used? Explain.
