9.77 Construct a 98% confidence interval for 01/02 in Exercise 9.42 on page 295, where and 2 are, respectively, the standard deviations for the distances traveled per liter of fuel by the Volkswagen and Toyota mini-trucks. 9.42 An experiment reported in Popular Science compared fuel economies for two types of similarly equipped diesel mini-trucks. Let us suppose that 12 Volkswagen and 10 Toyota trucks were tested in 90- kilometer-per-hour steady-paced trials. If the 12 Volks- wagen trucks averaged 16 kilometers per liter with a standard deviation of 1.0 kilometer per liter and the 10 Toyota trucks averaged 11 kilometers per liter with a standard deviation of 0.8 kilometer per liter, construct a 90% confidence interval for the difference between the average kilometers per liter for these two mini-trucks. Assume that the distances per liter for the truck mod- els are approximately normally distributed with equal variances. 9.77 Construct a 98% confidence interval for 01/02 in Exercise 9.42 on page 295, where and 2 are, respectively, the standard deviations for the distances traveled per liter of fuel by the Volkswagen and Toyota mini-trucks. 9.42 An experiment reported in Popular Science compared fuel economies for two types of similarly equipped diesel mini-trucks.
