Given two independent random samples with the following results:

n1=13
x‾1=141
s1=13   

n2=9
x‾2=161
s2=12

Use this data to find the 98% confidence interval for the true difference between the population means. Assume that the population variances are equal and that the two populations are normally distributed.

Step 1 of 3 : Find the point estimate that should be used in constructing the confidence interval.

Step 2 of 3: Find the margin of error to be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to six decimal places.

Step 3 of 3: Construct the 98% confidence interval. Round your answers to the nearest whole number.

Sagot :

The point estimate of difference of the sample his will be -20.

How to illustrate the information?

Based on the information given, the. following can be depicted:

n1 = 13

x1 = 141

s1 = 13

n2 = 9

x2 = 161

s2 = 12

The point estimate of difference will be:

= 141 - 161

= -20

The margin of error to be used in constructing the confidence interval will be calculated by multiplying the standard error which is 5.467 and the critical value. This will be:

= 5.467 × 2.528

= 13.822

The margin of error is 13.822.

The confidence interval will now be:

= (-20 + 13.822) and (-20 - 13.822)

= -6.178 and -33.822
