The company requires a high quality machine. The manager is currently considering two companies that supply this machine. The machine from company A can produce approximately1050 units in average per day, but the standard deviation of this machine is about 250 units per day; while the machine from company B can produce approximately 900 units in average per day, but the standard deviation of this machine is about 100 units per day. Both of these two companies guarantee at least 10 years life. In addition, both prices are similar although machine A is a little bit higher. Price is not the main concern for the manager because both prices are under their budget. However, the manager cannot decide which machine should be purchased, because he is not sure what test he needs to conduct. Can you recommend the manager what test the manager should conduct?

- The human resources department of a consulting firm gives a standard creativity test to a randomly selected group of new hires every year. This year, 100 new hires took the test and scored a mean of 113.6 points with a standard deviation of 134. Last year, 95 new hires took the test and scored a mean of 116.4 points with a standard deviation of 16.8. Assume that the population standard deviations of the test scores of all new hires in the current year and the test socores of all new hires last year can be estimated by the sample standard deviations, as the samples used were quite large. Construct a 90 confidence interval for the difference between the mean test score , of new hires from the current year and the mean test score , of new hires from last year. Then tind the lower limit and upper limit of the 905% confidence interval. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your answeis to at least two decimal places.
