The mean age of a random sample of 25 people playing the slot machines at a casino is 48.7 years and the standard deviation is 6.8 years. Also the mean age of a random sample of 35 people who were playing roulette is 55.3 years with a standard deviation of 3.2 years. Test the claim that the mean age of those playing slot machines is smaller than the mean age of those playing roulette. Use a level of significance of 0.05. State the null and alternative hypotheses. Determine the test statistic. You may use either the critical value method or the p-value method. Explain how you make your decision. State your conclusion in nontechnical terms.
