Q1. The logistics department of a large firm employs three "estimators" whose job it is to decide the likely cost of delivering their products to their customers. This enables them to negotiate with Third Party Logistics (3PL) providers for an acceptable price. In order to check if there is any serious discrepancy between the methods used by the three they were each asked to produce estimates for the same four jobs. The results (in hundreds of pounds) are shown in the table below:

Q.2. A company making lamps has drawn a sample from its production line and measured the light output from each. The results, in microamps, are as follows:
| 9.1 |
9.8 |
9.5 |
10.4 |
10.7 |
10.2 |
9.8 |
10 |
10.3 |
10.1 |
9.6 |
At a later date second sample is drawn and tested, with the following results:
| 9.4 |
9.3 |
9.8 |
10.3 |
9.9 |
10.5 |
11 |
10 |
9.7 |
10.6 |
(a) Is there any evidence of a change in the performance of the lamps between the dates?
If there is a difference, calculate the 95% confidence limits for the difference.If not, calculate the 95% confidence limits for the mean light output.
