Group 1: 40, 35, 45, 50, 42
Mean time for Group 1 = (40 + 35 + 45 + 50 + 42) / 5 = 212 / 5 = 42.4 minutes
Group 2: 30, 25, 35, 40, 28
Mean time for Group 2 = (30 + 25 + 35 + 40 + 28) / 5 = 158 / 5 = 31.6 minutes
Difference in mean time = 42.4 - 31.6 = 10.8 minutes
Therefore, the difference in the mean time each group spent shopping is 10.8 minutes.
