A group is interested in seeing if the mean gas mileages from two different brands of gasoline are the same. To test this, they sampled 23 cars that used Type A gas and 17 cars that used Type B gas. From these samples, they calculated the following descriptive statistics (in terms of miles per gallon): Type A Gas Type B Gas ?n 23 17 ?⎯⎯⎯x¯ 29 29 ?s 4 5 (Assume the samples are independent and that the populations are normally distributed with unknown mean and standard deviation) (a) Is there significant evidence to suggest that there is a difference in gas milage? Test this at the ?=0.05α=0.05 significance level. State your conclusions regarding H0 (b) Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the true difference of the means. State your conclusions after calculating the interval.
