Question

QUESTION 5 A sales consultant for Herron Pharmaceuticals wished to confirm that their packet of 24 paracetamol tablets was cheaper at the retail level than their rival product. The sales consultant

collected price data from two independent samples, of size 27 for Herron and 18 for the rival company. These yielded an average and variance for the retail price of Herron's product of 386 cents and 59 cents squared respectively, and 419 cents and 50 cents squared for the rival. Under the usual assumptions, determine a 95% confidence interval for the price difference (use Herron minus rival) stating only the upper limit of the interval in cents (round to the nearest whole number).
