Q: Use the table below to answer the series of questions. Elaborate on your answers as to how you arrived at the solution.
a) What is the sample size?
b) Use the information and determine a Tukey simultaneous 95% confidence interval for italic mu subscript 1 - italic mu subscript 2. The mean and sample sizes for brand 1 and brand 2 are as follows: x with bar on top 1 = 2.95, x with bar on top 2 = 2.28, n1 = 4 and n2 = 5.
c) At a significance level of .05. What conclusions can we come to?
