Question
HW10Q12

Transcribed Image Text:Two researchers conducted a study in which two groups of students were asked to answer 42 trivia questions
from a board game. The students in group 1 were asked to spend 5 minutes thinking about what it would mean
to be a professor, while the students in group 2 were asked to think about soccer hooligans. These pretest
thoughts are a form of priming. The 200 students in group 1 had a mean score of 26.6 with a standard deviation
of 4, while the 200 students in group 2 had a mean score of 16.2 with a standard deviation of 2.9. Complete
parts (a) and (b) below.
(a) Determine the 95% confidence interval for the difference in scores, µ, - H2. Interpret the interval.
The lower bound is
The upper bound is
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
