Using the t-distribution, it is found that the data does not provide convincing evidence that the mean number is greater when the coupons were addressed to a female.

<h3>What are the hypothesis tested?</h3>

At the null hypothesis, it is tested if there is no difference, that is, the mean is of 0, hence:

$H_0: \mu = 0$

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if the mean number is greater for females, that is, the mean is greater than 0, hence:

$H_1: \mu > 0$

<h3>What is the test statistic?</h3>

The test statistic is given by:

$t = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$

The parameters are:

$\overline{x}$ is the sample mean.

$\mu$ is the value tested at the null hypothesis.

s is the standard deviation of the sample.

n is the sample size.

In this problem, the parameters are given as follows:

$\overline{x} = 1.5, \mu = 0, s = 4.75, n = 50$ .

Hence, the test statistic is given by:

$t = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$

$t = \frac{1.5 - 0}{\frac{4.75}{\sqrt{50}}}$

t = 2.23

<h3>What is the conclusion?</h3>

Considering a <em>right-tailed test</em>, as we are testing if the mean is greater than a value, with a <em>significance level of 0.01 and 50 - 1 = 49 df</em>, the critical value is given by $t^{\ast} = 2.4$ .

Since the test statistic is less than the critical value for the right-tailed test, the data does not provide convincing evidence that the mean number is greater when the coupons were addressed to a female.
