A taxi company is trying to decide whether to purchase brand A or brand B tires for its fleet of taxis. To estimate the difference in the two brands, an experiment is conducted using 8 of each brand, assigned at random to the left and right rear wheels of 8 taxis. The tires are run until they wear out and the distances, in kilometers, are recorded in the accompanying data set. Find a 90% confidence interval for μ₁-μ₂. Assume that the differences of the distances are approximately normally distributed. Click here to view the data set. Click here to view page 1 of the table of critical values of the t-distribution. Click here to view page 2 of the table of critical values of the t-distribution. Let μ, be the population mean for brand A and let μ₂ be the population mean for brand B. The confidence interval is
