An electrical engineer wishes to compare the mean lifetimes of two types of transistors in an application involving high-temperature performance. A sample of 60 transistors of type A were tested and were found to have a mean lifetime of 1827 hours and a standard deviation of 168 hours. A sample of 180 transistors of type B were tested and were found to have a mean lifetime of 1658 hours and a standard deviation of 225 hours. Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the mean lifetimes of the two types of transistors.
To study the effect of curing temperature on shear strength of a certain rubber compound, 80 specimens were cured at 150°C and 95 were cured at 130°C. The specimens cured at 150°C had an average shear strength of 620 psi, with a standard deviation of 20 psi. Those cured at 130°C had an average shear strength of 750 psi, with a standard deviation of 30 psi. Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the mean shear strengths of specimens cured at the two temperatures.
A random sample of
4040
adults with no children under the age of 18 years results in a mean daily leisure time of
5.995.99
hours, with a standard deviation of
2.292.29
hours. A random sample of
4040
adults with children under the age of 18 results in a mean daily leisure time of
4.414.41
hours, with a standard deviation of
1.661.66
hours. Construct and interpret a

Let
mu 1μ1
represent the mean leisure hours of adults with no children under the age of 18 and
