2. Tucson State University offers two MBA programs. In the first program the students meet two nights per week at the University's main campus in downtown Tucson. In the second program students only communicated on-line with the instructor. The director of the MBA experience at Tucson wishes to compare the number of hours studied last week by the two groups of students. A sample of 10 on-campus students and 12 on-line students revealed the following information.
Campus 28, 16, 42, 29, 31, 22, 50, 42, 23, 25
Online 26, 42, 65, 38, 29, 32, 59, 42, 27, 41, 46, 18
Do not assume the two distributions of study times, which are reported in hours, follow a normal distribution. At the .05 significance level, can we conclude the on-line students study more?
