Consider the pooled t variable
which has a t distribution with m + n − 2 df when both population distributions are normal with σ1 = σ2 (see the Pooled t Procedures subsection for a description of Sp).
a. Use this t variable to obtain a pooled t confidence interval formula for μ1 − μ2.
b. A sample of ultrasonic humidifiers of one particular brand was selected for which the observations on maximum output of moisture (oz) in a controlled chamber were 14.0, 14.3, 12.2, and 15.1. A sample of the second brand gave output values 12.1, 13.6, 11.9, and 11.2 (“Multiple Comparisons of
c. Estimate the difference between the two μ’s using the two-sample t interval discussed in this section, and compare it to the interval of part (b).
