You may assume the 2 sample t-procedures are safe to use. Callconventional 1 and new 2 in proceeding with analyses.

#10. Find the 95% confidence interval for the mean difference inmean crying time after being given a vitamin K shot between infantsheld using conventional methods and infants held by their mothers.Fill in blank 1 to report the bounds of the 95% CI. Enter youranswers as lower bound,upper bound with no additional spaces androunding bounds to three decimals.

Blank #1: 95% confident that the true mean difference in meancrying time after being given a vitamin K shot between infantsusing conventional methods and infants held by their mothers isbetween ____________and ___________________. In other words, themean crying time of infants given vitamin K shot using conventionalmethods is anywhere from ______________ less than to_______________more than the mean crying time of infants givenvitamin K shot using new methods.

#9. Is there enough evidence to show that infants cried less onaverage when they are held by their mothers than if held usingconventional methods? Test at the 5% level.

Use the framework below to guide your work.

Hypotheses: :     Ho: mu1 = mu2; Ha: mu1> mu2 (calling conventional 1 and new 2)   

Blank #2: Test statistic = _________ (round to two decimalplaces)

Blank #3:  p-value = __________ (round to four decimalplaces)

Blank #4: Test decision: We decide to ___________ Ho (reject ordo not reject)

Blank #5: Conclusion back into the words of problem: Theevidence __________(favors or does not favor) that the mean cryingtime of infants given vitamin K shot and being held by theirmothers is less than the mean crying time of those who were givenshot using conventional methods.
