question
use the spreadsheets average function (look under autosum in the function menu) to calculate the means. enter the correct value in each box. use numerals instead of words, and round each value to the nearest hundredth.
the mean value of people who would purchase the red box is 26.29. the mean value of people who would purchase the blue box is 33.32.
part b
question
what is the difference of the sample means of those who would purchase the red box and those who would purchase the blue box?
1.74
2.08
1.86
1.39

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the means

Mean of red - box buyers = 26.29, Mean of blue - box buyers = 33.32

Step2: Calculate the difference

Difference = 33.32 - 26.29 = 7.03
However, if we assume the order of subtraction as red - blue (even though the problem doesn't clearly state the order strictly), 26.29−33.32=- 7.03. Taking the absolute - value, the difference is 7.03. But since none of the options match 7.03, we assume the correct subtraction is blue - red.

Answer:

None of the provided options are correct. The correct difference of the sample means is 7.03.
