Questions:
1. Do general customers in the sample prefer more fashionable lifestyle (Life_fsh) than quality of the merchants (One_qual) they buy?
a. Write up your hypothesis for this question,
b. Select a tool to test the hypothesis (you may want to use the Select Case command to select cases for only one store if you want to compare to the population-eg to select JCPenney, use DataàSelect CasesàIf JCPenney > 2. We did not learn Select Case command in class before, so if you use the whole sample, it will be okay.) and,
c. Interpret the findings/output in words, particularly with respect to the null hypothesis and a managerial conclusion.

a. Write up your hypothesis for this question,
