Q1. Nine wafers are baked at two different temperatures, 90°C and 100°C, to examine the impact of temperature on the weights (in gm) of wafers of a specified size. Find a 95% confidence interval on the difference in means assuming that the measurements in the two columns follow independent normal distributions with distinct variances.
