Are women's feet getting bigger? Retailers in the last 20 years have had to increase their stock of larger size
shoe size samples of 12 randomly chosen women in two different age groups. Assuming equal variances, at

Run the t-test using the Data Analysis feature in Microsoft Excel.

Is this a left-tailed, two-tailed, or right-tailed test?

It is a right tailed test

What is the test statistic and the critical value?

Test statistic -2.26046
Critical Value 1.7171444

By comparing the test statistic and the critical value, can you conclude that women's shoe sizes have increas
