In one such study, groups of light and heavy users of marijuana in college were tested for memory recall, with the results given below. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the population of heavy marijuana users has a lower mean than the light users. Should marijuana use be of concern to college students?
Items sorted correctly by light marijuana users: n = 64 x = 53.3 s = 3.6
Items sorted correctly by heavy marijuana users: n = 65 x = 51.3 s = 4.5
Construct a 98% confidence interval for the difference between the population means. Does the confidence interval include zero? What does the confidence interval suggest about the quality of the two population means?
