Field researcher is gathering data on the trunk diameters

A field researcher is gathering data on the trunk diameters of mature pine and spruce trees in a certain area.  The following are the results of his random sampling.  Can he conclude, at the 0.10 level of significance, that the average trunk diameter of a pine tree is greater than the average diameter of a spruce tree?

                                                 Pine trees              Spruce trees

Sample size                                 30                              35

Mean trunk diameter (cm)            45                              39

Sample variance                           120                           140
