Question 192

Multiple Choice

State what the given confidence interval suggests about the two population means.
-A researcher was interested in comparing the GPAs of students at two different colleges. Independent simple random samples of 8 students from college A and 13 students from college B yielded the following GPAs.  College A  College B 3.73.82.83.23.24.03.03.03.62.53.92.62.73.84.03.62.53.62.83.93.4\begin{array} { | c | c c | } \hline \text { College A } & \text { College B } \\\hline 3.7 & 3.8 & 2.8 \\3.2 & 3.2 & 4.0 \\3.0 & 3.0 & 3.6 \\2.5 & 3.9 & 2.6 \\2.7 & 3.8 & 4.0 \\3.6 & 2.5 & 3.6 \\2.8 & 3.9 & \\3.4 & & \\\hline\end{array} Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the mean GPA of college A students and the
Mean GPA of college B students. (Note: xˉ1=3.1125,xˉ2=3.4385,s1=0.4357, s2=0.5485\bar { x } _ { 1 } = 3.1125 , \bar { x } _ { 2 } = 3.4385 , s _ { 1 } = 0.4357 , \mathrm {~s} _ { 2 } = 0.5485 .)


A) 0.91<μ1μ2<0.25- 0.91 < \mu _ { 1 } - \mu _ { 2 } < 0.25
B) 0.65<μ1μ2<0.01- 0.65 < \mu _ { 1 } - \mu _ { 2 } < - 0.01
C) 0.81<μ1μ2<0.15- 0.81 < \mu _ { 1 } - \mu _ { 2 } < 0.15
D) 0.72<μ1μ2<0.07- 0.72 < \mu _ { 1 } - \mu _ { 2 } < 0.07
