4. The accompanying table shows the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP), the highway miles per gallon (mpg), and the weight for each case in two different samples of vehicles. The top half of the table shows a random sample of five models of family sedans (which rules out luxury cars, sport cars, and convertibles), and the bottom half shows a simple random sample of five models of sport utility vehicles (SUVs). 2 a. Estimate the difference in mean model price between family sedans and SUVs and an approximate 95% confidence interval. b. Estimate the difference in mean model weight between family sedans and SUVs and an approximate 95% confidence interval. c. Estimate the difference in mean highway mpg between family sedans and SUVs and an approximate 95% confidence interval. d. In which of the confidence intervals in this exercise do you have the least "confidence"? Explain.
