Given two dependent random samples with the following results:
| Population 1 | 20 | 22 | 44 | 42 | 28 | 48 | 39 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Population 2 | 30 | 30 | 32 | 45 | 18 | 43 | 32 |
Use this data to find the 99% confidence interval for the true difference between the population means. Assume that both populations are normally distributed.
Copy Data
Step 1 of 4 :
Find the point estimate for the population mean of the paired differences. Let x1 be the value from Population 1 and x2 be the value from Population 2 and use the formula d=x2−x1 to calculate the paired differences. Round your answer to one decimal place.
Step 2 of 4:
Calculate the sample standard deviation of the paired differences. Round your answer to six decimal places.
Step 3 of 4:
Use the 99% confidence interval for the true difference between the population means. Assume that both populations are normally distributed.
Step 4 of 4:
Construct the 99% confidence interval. Round our answers to one decimal places.

Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression during seasons with less daylight (e.g., winter months). One therapy for SAD is phototherapy, which is increased exposure to light used to improve mood. A researcher tests this therapy by exposing a sample of patients with SAD to different intensities of light (low, medium, high) in a light box, either in the morning or at night (these are the times thought to be most effective for light therapy). All participants rated their mood following this therapy on a scale from 1 (poor mood) to 9 (improved mood). The hypothetical results are given in the following table.

Write a 200-250 word summary of this passage:
The Government’s Position on Illegal Mining
Laws in South Africa prohibit any one without a license to mine or process gold. However, local authorities lack the manpower needed to properly monitor the thousands of abandoned mine shafts. The South African government is concerned that the large number of “freelance” miners, coupled with a decline in some sectors (e.g. gold) is having a significant negative impact on tax revenues. South Africa’s Chamber of Mines, an industry association, estimates that South Africa loses about 5% of its potential annual mineral production to illegal mining. This lost production is valued at around $2 billion. The government estimated that in 2010, it had lost approximately $500 million in tax revenues and [lost] export revenue due to illegal mining 8). These lost funds could have been used to support much-needed social service programs for the country’s poor and unemployed.
