This assignment is intended to test your knowledge of how to appropriately compare two means in Excel using the data file Student_Debt.xlsx.  The data file has 50 randomly selected student debt amounts from 2011 and 50 randomly selected student debt amounts from 2007. You want to know whether the sample data provide enough evidence to believe there is a difference between the debt amounts in the two years.  

After watching the accompanying videos, read MBA 6350 Week5 - Two sample t-test Instructions and Questions.docx with the instructions and questions.  Run all required analyses and submit them along with the data file in a single Excel workbook that shows all your output.  Answer all the questions in the provided space in the Word document and submit the completed document along with the workbook
