The U.S. Geological Survey compiled historical data about Old Faithful Geyser (Yellowstone National Park) from 1870 to 1987. Let x1 be a random variable that represents the time interval (in minutes) between Old Faithful eruptions for the years 1948 to 1952. Based on 9520 observations, the sample mean interval was x1 = 62.8 minutes. Let x2 be a random variable that represents the time interval in minutes between Old Faithful eruptions for the years 1983 to 1987. Based on 23,117 observations, the sample mean time interval was x2 = 73.0 minutes. Historical data suggest that ?1 = 8.98 minutes and ?2 = 12.83 minutes. Let ?1 be the population mean of x1 and let ?2 be the population mean of x2. (a) Compute a 90% confidence interval for ?1 – ?2.

Executives of a supermarket chain are interested in the amount of time that customers spend in the stores during shopping trips. The mean shopping time, μ , spent by customers at the supermarkets has been reported to be 36 minutes, but executives hire a statistical consultant and ask her to determine whether it can be concluded that μ is greater than 36 minutes. The consultant plans to do a statistical test and collects a random sample of 50 shopping times at the supermarkets. Suppose that the population of shopping times at the supermarkets has a standard deviation of 16 minutes and that the consultant performs her hypothesis test using the 0.05 level of significance.
