Construct the Indicated Confidence Interval for the Difference Between the Two

Question 10

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.  Type A  Type B xˉ1=75.7hrsxˉ2=64.3hrss1=4.5hrss2=5.1hrsn1=11n2=9\begin{array} { | l | l | } \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 98%98 \% confidence interval for μ1μ2\mu _ { 1 } - \mu _ { 2 } , the difference between the mean drying time for paint of type A\mathrm { A } and the mean drying time for paint of type B\mathrm { B } .


A) 6.08hrs<μ1μ2<16.72hrs6.08 \mathrm { hrs } < \mu _ { 1 } - \mu _ { 2 } < 16.72 \mathrm { hrs }
B) 5.92hrs<μ1μ2<16.88hrs5.92 \mathrm { hrs } < \mu _ { 1 } - \mu _ { 2 } < 16.88 \mathrm { hrs }
C) 5.85hrs<μ1μ2<16.95hrs5.85 \mathrm { hrs } < \mu _ { 1 } - \mu _ { 2 } < 16.95 \mathrm { hrs }
D) 5.78hrs<μ1μ2<17.02hrs5.78 \mathrm { hrs } < \mu _ { 1 } - \mu _ { 2 } < 17.02 \mathrm { hrs }
