Q.1.1.1 Calculate the standard deviation of the difference between the mean opinion scores of gas ovens and electric ovens. Q.1.1.2 The analyst concluded that there was 50% probability that the sample mean of opinion scores of gas ovens is smaller than that of electric ovens. He used z-transformations and got z = -3.9. Calculate the z value using information in the table to check if the value of -3.9 used by the analyst was correct.
