- The manufacturer's suggested
retail prices for the two models show a $10 price differential. Use
a .05 level of significance and test that the mean difference
between the prices of the two models is $10.
Develop the null and alternative hypotheses.

Calculate the value of the test statistic. If required enter
negative values as negative numbers. (to 2 decimals).
