A study was made to determine if the subject matter in a physics course is better understood when a lab constitutes part of the course. Students were randomly selected to participate in either a 3-semester-hour course without labs or a 4-semester-hour course with labs. In the section with labs, 17 students made an average grade of 85 with a standard deviation of 4.7, and in the section without labs, 17 students made an average grade of 79 with a standard deviation of 6.1. Construct 90% confidence interval for the difference of the mean grades between the two physics courses. Based on your interval, would you say that the laboratory course increases the average grade? Assume the populations to be approximately normally distributed.
