Answer

95% CI for $μ_d$: $0.688\lt μ_d\lt 1.238$ Since the interval does not contain $μ_d=0$, reject the null hypothesis. There is enough evidence to conclude that there is a difference in braking time with impaired vision and normal vision.

Work Step by Step

$H_0:~µ_d=Impaired-Normal=0$ versus $H_1:~µ_d=Impaired-Normal\ne0$ In MINITAB, enter the Impaired values in C1 and the Normal values in C2. Select Stat -> Basic Statistics -> Paired-t Select "Each sample is in a column". In "Sample 1" enter C1 and in "Sample 2" enter C2 Click Options. In confidence level enter 95. In Hypothesized difference enter 0. In Alternative hypothesis select difference $\ne$ hypothesized difference. Click OK. Click OK.
