3. Two 95% confidence intervals for the means of both of your groups. Show the formulas that you used to calculate your confidence intervals. Compare the 2 confidence intervals and interpret the results of the 2 confidence intervals. Do the confidence intervals overlap? You will have a confidence interval for each of your 2 groups. Since you do not know the population standard deviation, this will be a T Distribution. You can look at your notes in Section 8:1 for how to construct and interpret your confidence interval.
4. A 95% confidence interval for the difference between the means of your 2 groups. Based on your confidence interval, does there appear to be a difference between your 2 groups? Since you are constructing a confidence interval for the difference between the means of your 2 groups, you can use your calculator. On your calculator, you should use Stat Test #0. You can look at your notes in Section 10:1 for how to construct and interpret your confidence interval.
5. A hypothesis test for the difference between the means of your 2 groups. State the hypotheses, calculate the test statistic, compute the p-value, and make a decision. Since you are performing a hypothesis test for the difference between the means, you can use your calculator. On your calculator, you should use Stat Test #4. You can look at your notes in Section 10:2 for how to perform the hypothesis test.
6. A conclusion. Based on your hypothesis test, can you conclude that there is a difference between your 2 groups? This should be your last step for the hypothesis test (that you performed in step #5).
