(a)
The manufacturer's suggested retail prices for the two models show a $10 price differential. Use a 0.05 level of significance and test that the mean difference between the prices of the two models is $10.
Calculate the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
Calculate the p-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
(b)
What is the 95% confidence interval for the difference between the mean prices of the two models (in dollars)? (Round your answers to nearest cent. Use the mean price for the deluxe model − the mean price for the standard model.)
