IMPORTANT: Make sure you carry all decimals until you reach your answer, then round to four decimals. Consider the following data for two independent random samples taken from two normal populations with equal variances. Find the 90% confidence interval for ?1-?2.

Explanation / Answer

mean of sample 1= 9

mean of sample 2= 12

std of sample 1= 2.60768

std of sample 2= 2.36643


Pooled Variance
s2p = ((df1)(s21) + (df2)(s22)) / (df1 + df2) = 12.4 / 10 = 6.2

Standard Error
s(M1 - M2) = ?((s^2p/n1) + (s^2p/n2)) = ?((6.2/6) + (6.2/6)) = 1.43756

Confidence Interval
?1 - ?2 = (M1 - M2) ± ts(M1 - M2) = -3 ± (1.81 * 1.43756) = -3 ± 2.60198

?1 - ?2 = (M1 - M2) = -3, 90% CI [-5.60198,-0.39802].

You can be 90% confident that the difference between your two population means (?1 - ?2) lies between -5.60198 and -0.39802
