Set up a model to test whether there are differences in mean satisfaction between groups. Use an alpha of .05

We need to use a two-sample, two-tailed t-test to compare the mean sales of pizzas sold with the ad campaign and pizzas sold without it.

Step 1: Specify the null and alternative hypotheses.

Null hypothesis: The average number of pizzas sold is the same in both groups; µ1 = µ2
Alternative hypothesis: The average number of pizzas sold differs between the groups; µ1 ≠ µ2

Step 2: Select a significance level.

We will use the 0.05 ...
