A group of 78 people enrolled in a weight-loss program. They
also had to adhere to a regular exercise program. After six months,
the mean weight loss was 25 pounds with a standard deviation of 9
pounds. A second group of 43 people enrolled in the same program

mean weight loss was 14 with standard deviation 7 pounds. Construct
a 99% confidence interval for the mean difference in weight
losses.
