a. Verify graphically that normality is an appropriate assumption.

b. Calculate a 99% con dence interval for the population difference in mean volumes.

c. Does the upper limit of your interval in (b) give a 99% lower confidence bound for the difference between the two m s? If not, calculate such a bound and interpret it in terms of the relationship between the foam volumes of Coke and Pepsi.
