A. Construct a 90 percent confidence interval of the difference in the ratings of cars.
Old Rating: 16 18 27 17 33 28 33 18 24 19 18 27 22 18 20 29 19 27 20 21
New Rating: 15 16 24 15 29 25 29 16 22 17 16 24 20 16 18 26 17 25 18 19
B. Based on the interval is there a reason to believe that there is a difference in the ratings of the two cars?
C. Is there any significant difference in the old and new ratings of cars? Use appropriate hypothesis test to answer this question.
