A study investigated if cell phone use impacted student drivers' reaction times. There were two groups: 29 students were assigned to the cell phone group while 29 students were assigned to the control group. The experiment measured the response time to traffic lights; for the cell phone group, the mean was 585.1 with a standard deviation of 88 and for the control group, the mean was 540 with a standard deviation of 65. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the difference in mean response times between the cell phone and control groups. Point Estimate: = Margin of Error: E = (round to 4 decimal places) Lower Limit: (round to 4 decimal places) Upper Limit: (round to 4 decimal places) We are 90 % confident that the true is between and .
