Research indicates that charitable giving is more common among older adults, though increased giving by Millennials is part of a growing trend. We examine charitable giving (measured in dollars) for two age groups: (1) 30–39 years and (2) 50–59 years of age, based on data from the GSS2014. Assume alpha = .05 for a two-tailed test. What can you conclude about the difference in giving between the two age groups?
