Two random samples are selected from two independent populations. A summary of the samples sizes, sample means, and sample standard deviations is given below:
n1=39,n2=40,x¯1=50.3,x¯2=73.8,s1=6s2=6.1
Find a 98% confidence interval for the difference μ1−μ2 of the population means, assuming equal population variances.
Here .
The degrees of freedom is .
We use pooled variance since the population variances are assumed equal.
The pooled sample variance is
The confidence interval for for true difference in means
The 98% confidence interval for true difference in means
