A marketing study found that the mean spending in 15 categories of consumer items for 150 respondents in the 18 to 34 age group was RM75.50 with a standard deviation of RM53.20. For 250 respondents in the 35+ age group, the mean and the standard deviation were RM65.20 and RM46.10, respectively. Test the hypothesis that there is no difference in the mean spending between these two populations. Use a significance level of 0.05. (Note: Assume that the population variances are not equal).
