Is there a significant difference in the mean weight gain


In an experiment to compare two types of feed with respect to weight gain, twenty pigs were randomly divided into two groups, with each group receiving a different feed. After a certain period of time the weight gain (in kg) for each pig was recorded.

Feed A: 71.6 62.7 68.4 66.2 62.5 70.5 63.5 57.2 

Feed B: 66.3 70.7 68.4 72.2 69.8 64.8 68.9 68.2 72.8 73.3 61.2 60.4

(a) Is there a significant difference in the mean weight gain for the two types of feed? (a = .05). Use the Pooled T-test.

(b) Conduct the test in (a) using an appropriate confidence interval.
