Chapter 10 7)The concentration of benzene was measured in units of milligrams per liter for a simple random sample of five specimens of untreated wastewater produced at a gas field. The sample mean was 7.5 with a sample standard deviation of 1.7. Seven specimens of treated wastewater had an average benzene concentration of 3.3 with a standard deviation of 1.6. It is reasonable to assume that both samples come from populations that are approximately normal. Construct an 80 % confidence interval for the reduction in benzene concentration after treatment. Round the final answer to one decimal place.
