A company would like to determine if there is a difference in the number of days that employees are absent from the East Side Plant compared to the West Side Plant. So, the company takes a sample of 54 employees from the East Side Plant and finds that these people missed an average of 5.3 days last year with a standard deviation of 1.3 days. A sample of 41 employees from the West Side plant revealed that these people were absent an average of 6.8 days last year with a standard deviation of 1.8 days. a) Find the 96% confidence interval for estimating the difference in the population means (H1 - H2). b) Can you be 96% confident that there is a difference in the means of the two populations? c) Interpret the results. Your Answer: n1= 54 n2=41 s1=1.3 s2=1.8 x=5.3 x=6.8 z= 2.05
