Question

A student took a random sample of 181 properties to examine how much more waterfront property is worth. Her summaries and boxplots of the two groups of prices are shown. Construct and interpret a 90% confidence interval for the mean additional amount that waterfront property is worth.

non-waterfront prop:----------- Waterfront Prop:

n=106 ----------------------------------n=75

= 218,582.16-------------------- -- =320,525.36

s=102,708.88 ------------------------s=161,222.29

The 90% confidence interval is _ ± _
