Question

Find 95% confidence interval for the difference between the means of the two populations.
Assume the populations to be normally distributed
Which among the tires give better fuel economy? 

1. A taxi company manager is trying to decide whether the use of radial tires instead of regular
belted tires improves fuel economy. Twelve cars were equipped with radial tires and driven over a
prescribed test course. Without changing drivers, the same cars were then equipped with regular
belted tires and driven once again over the test course. The gasoline consumption, in kilometers
per liter, was recorded as follows:
