In a random sample of 30 people who rode a roller coaster one day, the mean wait time is 46.7 minutes with a standard deviation of 9.2 minutes. In a random sample of 50 people who rode a Ferris wheel the same day, the mean wait time is 13.3 minutes with a standard deviation of 1.9 minutes. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the difference between the mean wait times of everyone who rode both rides.
sample mean difference:: 46.7-13.3 = 33.4
ME = 2.5857*sqrt[(9.2^2/30)+(1.9^2/50)] = 4.4
----
99% CI:: 33.4-4.4 ; 33.4+4.4
------
Ans: C
