10-2. The following information is based on independent random samples taken from two normally distributed populations having equal variances: $n_1 = 24$ $\bar{x}_1 = 130$ $s_1 = 19$ $n_2 = 28$ $\bar{x}_2 = 125$ $s_2 = 17.5$ Based on the sample information, determine the 95% confidence interval estimate for the difference between the two population means.

Step 1
The formula for the standard error of the difference between two sample means is: SE = sqrt((sā²/nā) + (sā²/nā)) where sā and sā are the standard deviations of the two samples, and nā and nā are the sample sizes. In this case, sā = 19, sā = 17.5, nā = 24, and Show moreā¦
