is often useful for retailers to determine why their potential customers chose to visit their store. Possible reasons include advertising, advice from a friend, or previous experience. To determine the effect of full-page advertisements in the local newspaper, the owner of an electronic-equipment store asked  randomly selected people who visited the store whether they had seen the ad. He also determined whether the customers had bought anything, and if so, how much they spent. Among the respondents who saw the ad, 49 made an average purchase of $97.38 with a variance of $622. Among the respondents who did not see the ad, 21 made an average purchase of  $92.01 with a variance of $283.3. Can the owner conclude that customers who see the ad spend more than those who do not see the ad (among those who make a purchase) at 5% significance level?

Question

It is often useful for retailers to determine why their potential customers chose to visit their store. Possible reasons include advertising, advice from a friend, or previous experience. To determine the effect of full-page advertisements in the local newspaper, the owner of an electronic-equipment store asked  randomly selected people who visited the store whether they had seen the ad. He also determined whether the customers had bought anything, and if so, how much they spent. Among the respondents who saw the ad, 49 made an average purchase of $97.38 with a variance of $622. Among the respondents who did not see the ad, 21 made an average purchase of  $92.01 with a variance of $283.3.

Can the owner conclude that customers who see the ad spend more than those who do not see the ad (among those who make a purchase) at 5% significance level?

and the answer? 

Conclusion

Do NOT Reject Null, Reject Null or Neither possible

 Conclusion-2  There is (?) evidence to infer that customers who see the ad and make a purchase spend more than those who do not see the ad and make a purchase.
