annual income of $50,000. The company finds that the average gamer

spends $206 a year on games, with a standard deviation of $12.

Another company is also interested in the amount game consumers spend,

and surveys a random sample of 225 gamers with a verified yearly income of

$50,000. The company finds that the average gamer spends $250 a year on

games, with a standard deviation of $15.
