c)

Please note that we can analyse this using the open source statistical packages , we cant provide solutions using spss as this is a paid software

Please see the excel screenshots below

we enter the details in excel and then goto > data > data analysis tab and select t test

please note that it is a 2 tail test as we are interested only in the difference part

assuming alpha of 0.05 , we see that the p value is
0.6368

which is not less than 0.05 , hence we fail to reject the null hypothesis

only when p value < alpha we reject the null hypothesis

as he results are not signficant , no further analysis is needed here
