- In an effort to better manage his inventory levels, the owner of two steak and seafood restaurants, both located in the same city, hires a statistician to conduct a statistical study. The owner is interested in whether the restaurant located on the south side sells more halibut fillets per night than the restaurant located on the north side of the city. The statistician selects a random sample of size n₁ = 31 nights that the southside restaurant is open. For each night in the sample, she collects data on the number of halibut fillets sold at the southside location and computes the sample mean X₁ = 14.93 and the sample variance s² = 24. Likewise, she selects a random sample of size П₂ = 37 nights that the northside restaurant is open. For each night in the sample, she collects data on the number of halibut fillets sold at the northside location and computes the sample mean X2 = 13.48 and the sample variance s² = 21.
