Part 1 of 2
(a) Construct a 98% confidence interval for the difference between the mean scores for the two types of instruction. Let μ1 denote the mean score of online instruction. Use the TI-84 calculator and round the answers to one decimal place
| An 98% confidence interval for the
mean difference between the mean scores for the two types of
instruction is
<μ1-μ2< . |
