Before making any changes permanent, they first want to collect data to compare the outcomes of the two structures. They have obtained a representative sample of 85 Law students and randomly assigned each to take either the new or old exam. The summarized sample data is given in the table below. Exam N Mean SD New 42 65.9 5.9 Old 43 63.6 3.2   Step 1 Construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate the mean difference in the bar exam scores of the two groups. Use Minitab; you should not need to do any hand calculations. Remember to upload all relevant Minitab output and to identify your answers.
