A trаvel аgency wаnts tо test fоr a difference in custоmer satisfaction at two hotel chains, Sleep Well and Comfort Stay. To test this, the group surveyed two groups. A sample of 49 customers who stayed at Sleep Well reported a mean satisfaction level of 76 (assume Sleep Well has a known population standard deviation of 11). A different sample of 36 customers who stayed at Comfort Stay had a mean satisfaction score of 71 (assume known population standard deviation of 10 for Comfort Stay). At 95% confidence, perform a 7-step hypothesis test of the travel agency’s claim/question about customer satisfaction at Sleep Well vs Comfort Stay.
