How to solve this question?

Mr Andrew is the owner of a small bakery in a large town. He believes that the
smell of fresh baking will encourage customers to purchase goods from his
bakery. To investigate this belief, he records the daily sales for 10 days when all the
bakery's windows are open, and the daily sales for another 10 days when all the
windows are closed. The following sales, in $, are recorded:

172.2
192.8
Assuming that these data may be deemed to be random samples from normal
populations with the same variance, investigate at the 0.05 level of significance the
baker's belief.
(b) A professor wants to observe the time (in hours) students spent to study per day. A
random sample of 25 students was taken from University A and 17 students from
University B. The data was collected and the results as follows:
University A
, = 25
nz = 17
F, =1.10
X, =1.07
si = 0.015
s = 0.017
University B
The professor claims that students in University A spent more time to study.
(i)
Test for the professor's claim at 5% level of significance.
(ii)
Find a 90% confidence interval on the difference between average time
University A's and University B's students spent to study.
(iii)
Interpret the answer in (ii), based on the claim made by the professor.
