A researcher wants to determine whether girls spend more time in a day texting than boys do. They gather a sample of n1 = 10 girls and a sample of n2 = 6 boys. They find that the average time spent texting for girls is M1 = 3 hours with a SS1 of 44. They also find that the average time texting for males is M2 = 2 hours with a SS2 of 40. Use an alpha level of α = 0.05 for your computation.
