Think of a problem that you may be interested in that deals witha comparison of two population means. Propose either a confidenceinterval or a hypothesis test question that compares these twomeans. Gather appropriate data and post your problem (without asolution) in the discussion topic. Later, respond to your own postwith the solution for others to check their work.
For example, you may want to know if the average weight of arippled potato chip is the same as the average weight of anon-rippled potato chip. You may weigh rippled regular potato chipsfrom a large bag and find weights of 1.7, 1.9, 2.4, 1.3, 1.7, and2.0 grams. You may weigh non-rippled potato chips from anotherlarge bag and find weights of 1.8, 1.6, 1.9, 1.9, and 1.4 grams.Assume a random sample was drawn.
