A newspaper reports that the average expenditure on Valentine's Day is $100.89. Do male and female consumers differ in the amounts they spend? The average expenditure in a sample survey of 40 male consumers was $138.67, and the average expenditure in a sample survey of 30 female consumers was $61.64. Based on past surveys, the standard deviation for male consumers is assumed to be $35, and the standard deviation for female consumers is assumed to be $20. (a) What is the point estimate (in dollars) of the difference between the population mean expenditure for males and the population mean expenditure for females? (Use male − female.) $  (b) At 99% confidence, what is the margin of error (in dollars)? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.) $  (c) Develop a 99% confidence interval (in dollars) for the difference between the two population means. (Use male − female. Round your answer to the nearest cent.) $  to $
