In 1974, the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel in Philadelphia was the scene of an outbreak of what later became known as legionnaires disease. The cause of the disease was finally discovered to be bacteria that thrived in the air-conditioning units of the hotel. Owners of the Rip Van Winkle Motel, hearing about the Bellevue-Stratford, replace their air-conditioning system. The following data are the bacteria counts in the air of eight rooms, before and after a new air-conditioning system was installed (measured in colonies per cubic foot of air).

The objective is to find out whether the new system has succeeded in lowering the bacterial count. You are the statistician assigned to report to the hotel whether the strategy has worked. Base your analysis on a confidence interval. Be sure to list all your assumptions, methods, and conclusions.
