An article reports that the average initial rate of absorption (in g/min·cm2) for a sample of five clay bricks with fine glass particles added was 1299.8 with a standard deviation of 329.8, and the average for another sample of ten bricks without glass particles added was 4500.8 with a standard deviation of 271.6. Let μXμX represent the population mean without glass particles and let μYμY represent the population mean with glass particles. Find a 98% confidence interval for the difference μX−μYμX−μY. Round down the degrees of freedom to the nearest integer and round the answers to three decimal places.
The 98% confidence interval is (_,_)

For a sample of nine automobiles, the mileage (in 1000s of miles) at which the original front brake pads were worn to 10% of their original thickness was measured, as was the mileage at which the original rear brake pads were worn to 10% of their original thickness. The results are given in the following table. Automobile Front Rear 1 32.8 40.5 2 26.6 35.2 3 35.6 46.1 4 36.4 46 5 29.2 39.9 6 40.9 51.7 7 40.9 51.6...

An article reports that in a sample of 9 men, the average volume of femoral cartilage (located in the knee) was 18.7 cm3 with a standard deviation of 3.3 cm3 and the average volume in a sample of 9 women was 11.2 cm3 with a standard deviation of 2.4 cm2. Let ux represent the population mean for men and let My represent the population mean for women. Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference uy – My. Round down...
A computer system administrator notices that computers running a particular operating system seem to freeze up more often as the installation of the operating system ages. She measures the time (in minutes) before freeze-up for seven computers one month after installation, and for nine computers seven months after installation. The results are as follows: One month after install: 207.4 233.1 215.9 235.1 225.6 244.4 245.3 Seven months after install: 84.3 53.2 127.3 201.3 174.2 246.2 149.4 156.4 104.3 Let μXμX...
