1. A U.S. Food Survey showed that Americans routinely eat beef in their diet. Suppose that in a study of 49 consumers in Illinois and 64 consumers in Texas the following results were obtained from two samples regarding average yearly beef consumption:

Illinois                                     Texas

             = 49                                     = 64

             = 54.1lb                              = 60.4lb

            S₁
= 7.0                                    S₂
= 8.0
