Summary statistics are given for independent simple
random samples from two populations. Use the pooled t-interval
procedure to obtain the specified confidence
interval.
X1 = 72.3, s 1 = 10.1, n
1 = 16, X2 = 69.9, s 2
= 8.7, n 2 = 12
Determine a 90% confidence interval.
a |
-3.81 to 8.61 |
|
b |
-4.46 to 9.26 |
|
c |
-1.60 to 6.40 |
|
d |
-2.39 to 7.19 |
From given information we find the pooled variance as follows :
Degrees of freedom = n1 + n2 - 2 = 16 + 12 - 2 = 26
t-critical value at significance level of 0.10 with 26 degrees of freedom is,
Excel Command : =TINV(0.10, 26) = 1.706
Margin of error (E) is,
The 90% confidence interval for (μ1 - μ2) is,
Answer : a) -3.81 to 8.61
