The 90% confidence interval is from nothing to nothing. (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

Preliminary analyses indicate that you can consider the assumptions for using nonpooled t-procedures satisfied. Researchers obtained the following data on the number of acute postoperative days in the hospital using the dynamic and static systems. Obtain a 90% confidence interval for the difference, 12,between the mean numbers of acute postoperative days in the hospital with the dynamic and static systems. (Note:x overbar 1=6.92,s 1=1.88,x overbar 2=10.17,and s2=3.54)

Explanation / Answer

The statistical software output for this problem is:

Two sample T confidence interval:
1 : Mean of Dynamic
2 : Mean of Static
1 - 2 : Difference between two means
(without pooled variances)

90% confidence interval results:

Hence,

90% confidence interval will be:

(-6.217, -0.283)
