Suppose that we are interested in comparing the academic success of college students who belong to fraternal organizations and the academic success of those who do not belong to fraternal organizations. Random samples of size 40 are taken from each population where the variances and standard deviations are known. Sample Size Fraternity member (f): 40 Nonmembers (n): 40 Mean GPA Variance (2) 2.03 .46 2.21 .35 Construct a 96% confidence interval estimate for the difference between the mean GPAS (uf- un). Interpret this interval estimate. What can you conclude about the mean GPAs of the two groups?
