ged the variance for group 1) Different groups
of male stalk-eyed flies were raised on different diets: a high nutrient corn diet vs. a
low nutrient cotton wool diet. Investigators wanted to see if diet quality influenced
eye-stalk length. They obtained the following data:

a) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean eye-stalk length
between the two diets (e.g., use group 1 - group 2).
