The following results come from two independent random samples taken of two populations. Sample 1: n1 = 60 x1 = 13.6 σ1 = 2.1 Sample 2: n2 = 35 x2 = 11.6 σ2 = 3 (a) What is the point estimate of the difference between the two population means? (Use x1 - x2.) (b) Provide a 90% confidence interval for the difference between the two population means. (Use x1 - x2. Round your answers to two decimal places.) ________ to ________ (c) Provide a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the two population means. (Use x1 - x2. Round your answers to two decimal places.) ________ to ________
