It is claimed that the average annual per person spending on prescription drugs is $410. If a survey of 65 randomly selected people indicated an average spending of $425 with a standard deviation of $45, do we reject the claim that the average is $ 410? Use 5% level of significance.

The average number of hours of television watched per week by women over age 55 is 48 hours. Men over age 55 watch an average of 43 hours of television per week. Random samples of 40 men and 40 women from a large retirement community yielded the following results. At the 0.01 level of significance, can it be concluded that women watch more television per week than men? $$ \begin{array}{lccc} & & & \text { Population } \\ & \text { Sample } & & \text { standard } \\ & \text { size } & \text { Mean } & \text { deviation } \\ \hline \text { Women } & 40 & 48.2 & 5.6 \\ \text { Men } & 40 & 44.3 & 4.5 \end{array} $$
