A certain counselor wants to compare mean IQ scores for two different social groups. A random sample of 11 IQ scores from group 1 showed a mean of 120 and a standard deviation of 16, while an independently chosen random sample of 10 IQ scores from group 2 showed a mean of 113 and a standard deviation of 14. Assuming that the populations of IQ scores are normally distributed for each of the groups and that the variances of these populations are equal, construct a 90% confidence interval for the difference u,-, between the mean u, of IQ scores of group 1 and the mean u, of IQ scores of group 2. Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the 90% confidence interval. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your responses to at least two decimal places.
