This Excel file DI Basketball Graduation Rates shows the graduation rates for the men's and women's basketball teams that participated in the 2011 NCAA division I basketball tournaments. There are data for 67 men's teams and 63 women's teams since Princeton had teams in both tournaments but does not report graduation rates.
Use the data to calculate a 90% confidence interval for uM - uF, the difference in the mean graduation rates for all division I men's and women's basketball teams. Calculate the means and standard deviations to 2 decimal places.
1 lower bound of confidence interval
2 upper bound of confidence interval

Select the choice below that correctly interprets the confidence interval.
Since the interval is entirely negative, it appears that the DI women's basketball mean graduation rate is higher than the DI men's basketball mean graduation rate.
Since the interval is entirely negative, it appears that the DI men's basketball mean graduation rate is higher than the DI women's basketball mean graduation rate.
Since the interval is entirely negative, it appears that their is no significant difference between the DI women's basketball mean graduation rate and the DI men's basketball mean graduation rate.
Since the interval contains zero we can conclude that both graduation rates are too low.
Since the interval is entirely positive it appears that both men's and women's mean basketball graduation rates are higher than the graduation rate for the general student body.
using minitab>stat>basic stat>two sample t
we have
Two-Sample T-Test and CI: men, women
Two-sample T for men vs women
N Mean StDev SE Mean
men 67 66.63 21.39 2.6
women 63 86.75 16.23 2.0
Difference = μ (men) - μ (women)
Estimate for difference: -20.12
90% CI for difference: (-25.66, -14.58)
T-Test of difference = 0 (vs ≠): T-Value = -6.01 P-Value = 0.000 DF
= 128
Both use Pooled StDev = 19.0627
the means and standard deviations are
Mean StDev
men 66.63 21.39
women 86.75 16.23
1 lower bound of the confidence interval is -25.66
2 upper bound of confidence interval is -14.58
Since the interval is entirely negative, it appears that the DI women's basketball mean graduation rate is higher than the DI men's basketball mean graduation rate.
