The manufacturer of hardness testing equipment uses steel-ball indenters to penetrate metal that is being tested. However, the manufacturer thinks it would be better to use a diamond indenter so that all types of metal can be tested. Because of differences between the two types of indenters, it is suspected that the two methods will produce different hardness readings. The metal specimens to be tested are large enough so that two indentions can be made. Therefore, the manufacturer uses both indenters on each specimen and compares the hardness readings. Construct a 95% confidence interval to judge whether the two indenters result in different measurements.
Note: A normal probability plot and boxplot of the data indicate that the differences are approximately normally distributed with no outliers.

Steel Ball 51 57 61 70 68 54 65 51 53
Diamond 53 56 61 74 69 55 68 51 56
Construct a 95% confidence interval to judge whether the two indenters result in different measurements, where the differences are computed as 'diamond minus steel ball'.
The uppper bound is _______?
The lower bound is _________?

I would like to know if the sex of a math student is a statistically significant factor in predicting average math exam scores. The following lists are exam scores for a math exam, separated by sex.
male 89 33 104 48 90 80 98 32 98 55 75 74 73 90 105 47 48 67 99 103 63
female 99 80 81 88 94 83 70 42 78 75
Perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the sex of a math student is statistically significant for performance on math tests. In other words, is there a statistically significant difference between the scores of these two groups of students?
(a) State the null and alternative hypotheses. Also, state the meaning of your parameters.
(b) Perform the test. Use α = .05. Show your work. Clearly indicate the value of the test statistic. Be sure to mention the value of df if it is relevant. Also, make sure you clearly state your final answer to the question above.
(c) Compute an appropriate 95% confidence interval that would confirm your final answer from part (b). Explain why it confirms that answer.
