The Federal Bureau of Prisons publishes data in Prison Statistics on the times served by prisoners released from federal institutions for the first time. Independent random samples of released prisoners in the fraud and firearms offense categories yielded the following information on time served, in months.

At the significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the meantime served for fraud is less than that for firearms offenses? (Note: , and .)
Discuss the relative advantages and disadvantages of using pooled and non pooled -procedures.
Two-Tailed Hypothesis Tests and CIs. As we mentioned on page , the following relationship holds between hypothesis tests and confidence intervals: For a two-tailed hypothesis test at the significance level , the null hypothesis will be rejected in favor of the alternative hypothesis if and only if the -level confidence interval for does not contain 0. In each case, illustrate the preceding relationship by comparing the results of the hypothesis test and confidence interval in the specified exercises.
