Question
We suspect that Method 1 for detecting impurities in iron ingots yields higher
results than Method 2 for finding such impurities. We want to give a 90%
confidence interval for the difference in the average number of impurities
detected by the two methods. In order to obtain the confidence interval, we
measured the impurities of 3 ingots, employing both methods for each ingot. The
results are presented in the table below.
We let l1 denote the population average number of defects for Method 1 and H2
denotes the population average number of defects for Method 2. We wish to
develop a confidence interval for µd = H1 – H2
