*8. In Chapter 20, we learned that to compute a 90% confidence interval, we add and subtract 1.645 rather than 2 times the measure of uncertainty. In this chapter, we revisited Case Study 6.2 and found that a 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean DHEA-S levels for 45- to 49-year-old women who meditated compared with those who did not extended from 3.6 to 61.6.
*a. Compute a 90% confidence interval for the difference in mean DHEA-S levels for this group.
*b. Based on your result in part
a, could you conclude with 90% confidence that the difference observed in the samples represents a real difference in the populations?
Explain.
