1. a) Two different schools create their own versions of the same aptitude test, and a Department Chair administers both versions to the same randomly selected subjects with the results given below. At the .01 level of significance, test the claim that both versions produce the same mean. Assume both populations are normal.

Conclusion ………………………….
We conclude that both versions produce same means
b) Construct a 99% confidence interval for, µd , the mean difference of the before minus the after times. Interpret the interval in a complete sentence.
Confidence Interval Name lower confidence, upper confidence
