(d) Find the two critical values at the 
0.10
 level of significance. (Round to three or more decimal places.)
and
(e) At the 
0.10
 level, can the owner conclude that the mean daily sales of the two stores differ?
 
Yes 
 
No
The owner of a chain of mini-markets wants to compare the sales performance of two of her stores, Store 1 and Store 2. Sales can vary considerably depending
on the day of the week and the season of the year, so she decides to eliminate such effects by making sure to record each store's sales on the same sample of
days. After choosing a random sample of 8 days, she records the sales (in dollars) for each store on these days, as shown in the table below.

Based on these data, can the owner conclude, at the 0.10 level of significance, that the mean daily sales of the two stores differ? Answer this question by
performing a hypothesis test regarding u, (which is u with a letter "d" subscript), the population mean daily sales difference between the two stores. Assume
that this population of differences (Store 1 minus Store 2) is normally distributed.
Perform a two-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places and round your answers as
specified. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)
