A company manufactures a product by two different manufacturing processes (A and B). Because the management of this company is interested in estimating the difference between the average time it takes each process to produce the product, they selected independent samples from each process. The results of the samples and the population variances are shown below.   Process A Process B Sample Size 32 35 Sample Mean (in minutes) 43 47 Population Variance (σ2) 64 70 ​ a. Develop a 95% confidence interval estimate for the difference between the average time taken by the two processes.  b. Is there conclusive evidence to prove that one process takes longer than the other? If yes, which process? Explain.
