In: Statistics and Probability
Listed below are the numbers of years that archbishops and monarchs in a certain country lived after their election or coronation. Treat the values as simple random samples from larger populations. Use a 0.10 significance level to test the claim that the mean longevity for archbishops is less than the mean for monarchs after coronation. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. All measurements are in years.

b. Construct a confidence interval suitable for testing the claim that the mean longevity for archbishops is less than the mean for monarchs after coronation. find margin of error
If the confidence interval contains zero, then the difference
μ1−μ2 is not significantly large. If the confidence interval contains only positive values, then the difference μ1−μ2 is significant and positive, which indicates that μ1>μ2. If the confidence interval contains only negative values, then the difference μ1−μ2 is significant and negative, which indicates that μ1<μ2. Use this information to interpret the confidence interval and compare it to the conclusion of the hypothesis test.
