9231 P42 - Nov 2023 - Q1 - 6 marks
6697

A factory produces small bottles of natural spring water. Two different machines, \(X\) and \(Y\), are used to fill empty bottles with the water. A quality control engineer checks the volumes of water in the bottles filled by each of the machines. He chooses a random sample of 60 bottles filled by machine \(X\) and a random sample of 75 bottles filled by machine \(Y\). The volumes of water, \(x\) and \(y\) respectively, in millilitres, are summarised as follows.
\(\sum x=6345 \quad \sum(x-\bar{x})^{2}=243.8 \quad \sum y=7614 \quad \sum(y-\bar{y})^{2}=384.9\)
\(\bar{x}\) and \(\bar{y}\) are the sample means of the volume of water in the bottles filled by machines \(X\) and \(Y\) respectively.

Find a \(95 \%\) confidence interval for the difference between the mean volume of water in bottles filled by machine \(X\) and the mean volume of water in bottles filled by machine \(Y\).
