A major company would like to assess the impact of using a professional trainer to conduct a confidence-building workshop with their salespeople. A sample of 18 workers is obtained. Half (n = 9) attend the workshop and the other half (n = 9) serves as a control group. Two weeks later, each of the participants is given a questionnaire measuring the level of self-confidence. The data are as follows:
| Controls | Workshop |
|---|---|
| M = 17.5 | M = 22.7 |
| S2 = 290 | S2 = 358 |
(a) Use the sample data to make a point estimate of the mean difference in confidence between the control group and the workshop conditions.
(b) Make an interval estimate of the mean difference so that you are 80% confident that the population mean difference is in your interval
