Construct the Indicated Confidence Interval for the Difference Between the Two

question 93

Multiple Choice

Construct the indicated confidence interval for the difference between the two population means. Assume that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally distributed populations. Do
Not assume that the population standard deviations are equal. A paint manufacturer wished to compare the
Drying times of two different types of paint. Independent simple random samples of 11 cans of type A and 9
Cans of type B were selected and applied to similar surfaces. The drying times, in hours, were recorded. The
Summary statistics are as follows. $$\begin{array} { | c | c | } \hline \text { Type A } & \text { Type B } \\\hline \bar { x } _ { 1 } = 75.7 \mathrm { hrs } & \bar { x } _ { 2 } = 64.3 \mathrm { hrs } \\\hline s _ { 1 } = 4.5 \mathrm { hrs } & s _ { 2 } = 5.1 \mathrm { hrs } \\\hline n _ { 1 } = 11 & n _ { 2 } = 9 \\\hline\end{array}$$ Construct a $99 \%$ confidence interval for $\mu _ { 1 } - \mu _ { 2 }$ , the difference between the mean drying time for paint type A ar the mean drying time for paint type $B$ .

• A) \(5.78\) hrs \(< \mu _ { 1 } - \mu _ { 2 } < 17.02\) hrs
• B) \(6.08\) hrs \(< \mu _ { 1 } - \mu _ { 2 } < 16.72\) hrs
• C) \(5.92\) hrs \(< \mu _ { 1 } - \mu _ { 2 } < 16.88\) hrs
• D) \(5.85 \mathrm { hrs } < \mu _ { 1 } - \mu _ { 2 } < 16.95 \mathrm { hrs }\)
