A random sample of Hope College students was taken and one of the questions asked was how many hours per week they study. You want to see if there is a difference between males and females in terms of average study time. The sample results are given in the following table.

	Female	Male
Sample Size	125	75
Sample Average	18.52	15.17
Sample SD	10.85	11.32

Assuming the distribution of study times is not strongly skewed for either sample, which approach would be more appropriate for these data: simulation-based or theory-based?

Simulation-based, since this approach works for any sample size.

Theory-based, since both 125 and 75 are greater than 20.

Either approach would be appropriate.

Neither approach would be appropriate.
