Data Set 15 in Appendix B lists arrival delay times (min) for randomly selected flights from New York (JFK) to Los Angeles (LAX). Statistics for times are given below. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that Flight 1 and Flight 3 have the same mean arrival delay time.

Assume that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally distributed populations, and do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal. Do the following:
a. Test the given claim using the P-value method or critical value method.
b. Construct a confidence interval suitable for testing the given claim.
