a) Compute the mean price for a round trip flight into Atlanta and the mean price for a round trip
flight in Salt Lake City. Is Atlanta less expensive to fly into than Slat Lake City? If so, what could
explain this difference?

b) Compute the range, variance, and standard deviation for the two samples. What does this
information tell you about the prices for flights into these two cities?
