A producer of fine chocolates believes that the sales of two varieties of truffles differ significantly during the holiday season. The first variety is milk chocolate while the second is milk chocolate filled with mint. It is reasonable to assume that truffle sales are normally distributed with unknown but equal population variances.

A sample mean of 13.5 million truffles filled with mint sold with a sample standard deviation of 2.3 million. Use milk chocolate as population 1 and mint chocolate as population 2. Which of the following are the appropriate hypotheses to determine if the average sales of
