College financial aid offices expect students to use summer earnings to help pay for college. But how large are these earnings? One college studied this question by asking a sample of students how much they earned. Omitting students who were not employed, 1296 responses were received. Here are the data in summary form:

Group

n

x

s

Males

675

$3297.91

$2394.65

Females

621

$2380.68

$1815.55

a) Use the two-sample t procedures to give a 90% confidence interval for the difference between the mean summer earnings of male and female students.

(b) The distribution of earnings is strongly skewed to the right. Nevertheless, use of t procedures is justified. Why?

(c) Once the sample size was decided, the sample was chosen by taking every kth name from an alphabetical list of undergraduates. Is it reasonable to consider the sample as two SRSs chosen from the male and female undergraduate populations?
