Question

In constructing a confidence interval estimate for the difference between the means of two independent normally distributed populations, we:
If we are testing for the difference between the means of two independent populations with equal variances, samples of n1 = 15 and n2 = 15 are taken, then the number of degrees of freedom is equal to a. 28 b. 14 c. 13 d. 29
If we are testing for the difference between the means of two independent populations with equal variances, samples of n1 = 15 and n2 = 15 are taken, then the number of degrees of freedom is equal to a. 28 b. 14 c. 13 d. 29
If we are testing for the difference between the means of two independent populations with equal variances, samples of n1 = 15 and n2 = 15 are taken, then the number of degrees of freedom is equal to
