The null hypothesis is that the mean price paid by younger customers (µ1) will not be as high as the price paid by older customers (µ2). The alternative hypothesis is that younger customers spend more on average than their older counterparts. Do a two sample test. 1. Perform the five-step hypothesis test on the data.
