(1 point) Farmers know that driving heavy equipment on wet soil compresses the soil and injures future crops. Here are data on the "penetrability" of the same type of soil at two levels of compression. Penetrability is a measure of how much resistance plant roots will meet when they try to grow through the soil.

Compressed Soil

2.84 2.69 2.9 2.82 2.76 2.81 2.78 3.08 2.94 2.86
3.08 2.82 2.78 2.98 3.00 2.78 2.96 2.90 3.18 3.16

Intermediate Soil

3.16 3.38 3.1 3.40 3.38 3.14 3.18 3.26 2.96 3.02
3.54 3.36 3.18 3.12 3.86 2.92 3.46 3.44 3.62 4.26

Use the data, omitting the high outlier, to give a 96% confidence interval for the decrease in penetrability of compressed soil relative to intermediate soil. Compute degrees of freedom using the conservative method.

Interval: ________ to -.2519

x1                     = 2.906 x2                    = 3.337
s1                     = 0.139 s2                    = 0.318
n1                    = 20 n2                    = 20
Point estimate =x1-x2= -0.431
degree of freedom v ='min(n1,n2)-1= 19
std error =√(S21/n1+S22/n2)= 0.0776
Point estimate of differnce =x1-x2     = -0.431
for 96 % CI & 19 df value of t= 2.205
margin of error E=t*std error                   = 0.171
lower bound=mean difference-E     = -0.6022
Upper bound=mean differnce +E      = -0.2598
from above 96% confidence interval for population mean =(-0.6022 , -0.2598)
