Part 1
In this​ example,
mu Subscript dμd
is the mean value of the differences d for the population of all pairs of​ data, where each individual difference d is defined as the number of hospital admissions on Friday the 6th minus the number of hospital admissions on Friday the 13th. Find the​ 95% confidence interval.
