A consumer education organization claims that there is a difference in the
mean credit card debt of males and females in the United States. The results
of a random survey of 200 individuals from each group are shown below.
The two samples are independent. Do the results support the organization’s
claim? Use 5% level of significance.

An admission test was administered to incoming freshmen in the College of
Nursing with 150 students, and Veterinary Medicine with 100 students.
Each was randomly selected. The mean scores of the given samples were 90
