Josh and Kendra each calculated a $90 \%$ confidence interval for the difference of means using a Student's $t$ distribution for random samples of size $n_{1}=20$ and $n_{2}=31$. Kendra followed the convention of using the smaller sample size to compute $d . f .=19$. Josh used his calculator and Satterthwaite's approximation and obtained $d . f . \approx 36.3$. Which confidence interval is shorter? Which confidence interval is more conservative in the sense that the margin of error is larger?
