A sample of 181181 students using Method 2 produces a testing average of 72.272.2. Assume the standard deviation is known to be 13.7413.74 for Method 1 and 16.5416.54 for Method 2. Determine the 90%90% confidence interval for the true difference between testing averages for students using Method 1 and students using Method 2.

Since we are trying to determine a 90% confidence interval, it should be clear that we are looking for the z-value required to obtain an area of (1−α)=0.90 centered under the standard normal curve. Therefore, from a normal table, it can be found that the value of zα/2z for a 90% confidence interval is 1.645.
