The president of theAmerican Insurance Institute wants to compare the yearly costs ofauto insurance offered by two leading companies. He selects asample of 15 families, some with only a single insured driver,others with several teenage drivers, and pays each family a stipendto contact the two companies and ask for a price quote. To make thedata comparable, certain features, such as the deductible amountand limits of liability, are standardized. The data for the sampleof families and their two insurance quotes are reported below.

At the 0.10significance level, can we conclude that there is a difference inthe amounts quoted? Hint: For the calculations, assume the\"Midstates Car Insurance\" as the first sample.
