An automotive company is considering two types of batteries for its automobile. Sample information on the life of the battery is collected for 20 batteries of type A and 20 batteries of type B. The summary statistics are XA = 40.21, xB = 39.53, SA = 1.23, and SB= 1.59. Assume the data on each battery are normally distributed and assume σA = σB.(a) Find a 95% confidence interval on μA – μB.(b) Draw some conclusion from (a) that provides some insight into whether A or B should be adopted.
