The British Department of Transportation studied to see if people avoid driving on Friday the 13th.   They did a traffic count on a Friday and then again on a Friday the 13th at the same two locations ("Friday the 13th," 2013).  The data for each location on the two different dates is in following table:

 Let μ1 = mean traffic count on Friday the 6th.  Let μ2 =  mean traffic count on Friday the 13th.  Estimate the mean difference in traffic count between the 6th and the 13th using a 90% level.

 

 (vii)  Determine confidence interval of the mean difference μd

Enter lower bound value to nearest tenth, followed by < , followed by "μd" for mean difference, followed by <, followed by upper bound value to nearest tenth.  No spaces between any characters. Use "negative" sign if necessary.  Do not use italics or enter units of measure.  Examples of correctly entered answers:

0.74<μd<0.78

13.14<μd<13.96

-9.72<μd<-8.08

 

 (viii)  Using the confidence interval, select the correct description of the result of the survey:

A.  We estimate with 90% confidence that the true population mean traffic count between Friday the 6th and Friday the 13th is between 1154.1 and 2517.5.

B.  We estimate with 90% confidence that the true mean difference in traffic counts between Friday the 6th and Friday the 13th falls outside 1154.1 and 2517.5.

C.  We estimate with 90% confidence that the true sample mean traffic counts between Friday the 6th and Friday the 13th is between 1154.1 and 2517.5.

D.  We estimate with 90% confidence that the true mean difference in traffic counts between Friday the 6th and Friday the 13th is between 1154.1 and 2517.5.
