A random sample of 15 Internet sales yielded a mean sale amount of $86.40 with a standard deviation of $18.75. A random sample of 10 mail-order sales yielded a mean sale amount of $75.20 with a standard deviation of $14.25. Assume the population variances are equal and the two populations from which the samples are drawn are normally distributed.
