The development engineer of a company making razors has been asked by the marketing department to compare the shaving times of the company's standard razor and deluxe razor.

His assistant volunteers to test the deluxe razor over six mornings and produces the following times, Y, measured in seconds: 186, 219, 168, 202, 191, 184

(i) Determine the sample mean and standard deviation for Sample X and Sample Y.

(ii) Determine a 95 per cent confidence interval of the difference between the two means.
