The effectiveness of two types of textbook is compared. A class of 30 students is randomly divided into two groups. One group uses digital textbooks and the other group uses paper textbooks. A summary of their test scores at the end of the session is given below. Digital Textbook: Paper Textbook: Construct a 90% confidence interval for the difference in scores between the two groups assuming underlying normal distributions with equal variance. Find the lower bound of the confidence interval (round off to first decimal place).

Answer:

- 18.377

Step-by-step explanation:

n1 = 17 ; xbar1 = 78.4 ; s1² = 90.3

n2 = 13 ; x2bar = 92 ; s2² = 107.8

Confidence interval :

(x1 - x2) ± Tcritical * sqrt[(sp²/n1 + sp²/n2)]

Pooled variance = Sp² = (df1*s1² + df2*s2²) ÷ (n1 + n2 - 2)

df = n - 1

Sp² = (16*90.3 + 12*107.8) / 28

Sp² = 97.8

Tcritical, 90%, df = n1 + n2 - 2 = 28 (1 - tail)

Tcritical = 1.313

(78.4-92)±1.313*sqrt[(sp²/n1 + sp²/n2)]

Margin of Error = Tcritical * sqrt[(sp²/n1 + sp²/n2)] Margin of Error = (1.313 * √(97.8/17 + 97.8/13)) = 4.7771473

Lower boundary :

(78.4-92) - 4.7771473

-13.6 - 4.7771473

= −18.3771473

= - 18.377
