Question

"Durable press" cotton fabrics are treated to improve their recovery from wrinkles after washing. "Wrinkle recovery angle" measures how well a fabric recovers from wrinkles. Higher is better. Here are data on the wrinkle recovery angle (in degrees) for the same fabric specimens discussed in the previous exercise:

 

Permafresh Hylite
106 165
126 171
155 142
153 187
117  

 

A manufacturer wants to know how large is the difference in mean wrinkle recovery angle.

  1. The mean and the standard deviation for the Permafresh are:

     ¯x=    s=
  • Round to 3 decimal places.
    2. The mean and the standard deviation for the Hylite are:

    ¯x=   s=
  • Round to 3 decimal places.
    3.The standard error is:

    SE = ________ Round to 3 decimal places.

    The critical value from the distribution for a confidence interval of 98% is:

    t*= ________Use degrees of freedom of 3. Use Technology Round to 3 decimal places.

  • Using the the answer from above (all rounded to 3 decimal places), calculate by hand a 98% confidence interval for the difference in mean wrinkle recovery angle:

    ________ to ________Round to 3 decimal places.
