Construct the indicated confidence interval for the difference between the two population means. Assume that the two samples are independent and that they have been randomly selected. Independent samples from two different populations yield the following data. $x_1 = 269$, $x_2 = 592$, $s_1 = 2$, $s_2 = 99$ The sample size is 205 for both samples. Find the 80 percent confidence interval for $mu_1 - mu_2$. $-337 < mu_1 - mu_2 < -309$ $-324 < mu_1 - mu_2 < -322$ $-332 < mu_1 - mu_2 < -314$ $-341 < mu_1 - mu_2 < -305$ None of these

Step 1

The formula for the standard error of the difference between the means is: SE = sqrt((s1^2/n1) + (s2^2/n2)) where s1 and s2 are the sample standard deviations, and n1 and n2 are the sample sizes. In this case, s1 = 2, s2 = 99, n1 = n2 = 205. SE = sqrt((2^2/205) Show more…

Construct the indicated confidence interval for the difference between the two population means. Assume that the two samples are independent and that they have been randomly selected: Independent samples from two different populations yield the following data. X1 = 269, X2 = 592, s1 = 2, s2 = 99. The sample size is 205 for both samples. Find the 80 percent confidence interval for Î¼1 - Î¼2. 337 < Î¼1 - Î¼2 < 4309 3324 < Î¼1 - Î¼2 < 4322 -332 < Î¼1 - Î¼2 < 314 341 < Î¼1 - Î¼2 < 405 None of these
