Given data for women mean  (x1)=33133.1  std(s1)=14214.1  population  (n1)=473473  for men, mean  (x1)=18618.6  std(s1)=15.715.7  population  (n1)=488488  a) how many more hours per​ week, on the​ average, women spend on housework than men.  =488488−473473=15015,  actually less  b) We use Z test denominator is standard error Z=x1−x2s12n1+s22n2  standard error  =30.53  c) Z=491.7 which is far above critical value at Z=0.95 i.e 1.645  d) The samples are independent because of large difference (C)
