Question

Consider the following results for independent random samples taken from two populations.

Sample 1 Sample 2
n 1 = 10 n = 30
x 1 = 22.5 x 2 = 20.3
s 1 = 2.1

2 = 4.9

  1. What is the point estimate of the difference between the two population means (to 1 decimal)?
  2. What is the degrees of freedom for the t distribution (round down your answer to nearest whole number)?
  3. At 95% confidence, what is the margin of error (to 1 decimal)?
  4. What is the 95% confidence interval for the difference between the two population means (to 1 decimal)?
