A new post-surgical treatment is being compared with a standard treatment. Seven subjects receive the new treatment, while seven others (the controls) receive the standard treatment. The recovery times, in days, are given below. Treatment: 12 13 15 19 20 21 24 Control: 18 23 24 30 32 35 39 Find a 98% confidence interval for the difference in the mean recovery times between treatment and control.

The most important way that we will use it is to compare the means of many independent samples simultaneously. Main Ideas Suppose we have multiple populations that we want to compare a possible null is H 0 m 1 = m 2= ▯▯▯ = mt where t is the total number of population groups. The alternative is that at least one mean di▯ers, i.e. H A m m 6= mn for some m
