2. Every 6 months some engineers are tested to see if their times, in minutes, to assemble a particular component have changed. The times taken to assemble the component are normally distributed. A random sample of 8 engineers was chosen and their times to assemble the component were recorded in January and in July. The data are given in the table below.
| Engineer | \(A\) | \(B\) | \(C\) | \(D\) | \(E\) | \(F\) | \(G\) | \(H\) |
| January | 17 | 19 | 22 | 26 | 15 | 28 | 18 | 21 |
| July | 19 | 18 | 25 | 24 | 17 | 25 | 16 | 19 |
- Calculate a \(95 \%\) confidence interval for the mean difference in times.
- Use your confidence interval to state, giving a reason, whether or not there is evidence of a change in the mean time to assemble a component. State your hypotheses clearly.
