In the airline business, "on-time" flight arrival is important for connecting flights and general customer satisfaction. Is there a difference between summer and winter average on-time flight arrivals? Let x1 be a random variable that represents percentage of on-time arrivals at major airports in the summer. Let x2 be a random variable that represents percentage of on-time arrivals at major airports in the winter. A random sample of n1 = 16 major airports showed that x1 = 74.9%, with s1 = 5.3%. A random sample of n2 = 18 major airports showed that x2 = 70.2%, with s2 = 8.6%. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some situations, this choice of d.f. may increase the P-value a small amount and thereby produce a slightly more "conservative" answer. (a) Does this information indicate a difference (either way) in the population mean percentage of on-time arrivals for summer compared to winter? Use α = 0.05. (i) What is the…
