Answer:
So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by
Step-by-step explanation:
Previous concepts
A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".
The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.
Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".
represent the sample mean A
represent the sample mean B
n1=10 represent the sample A size
n2=10 represent the sample B size
sample standard deviation for sample A
sample standard deviation for sample B
parameter of interest.
Solution to the problem
The confidence interval for the difference of means is given by the following formula:
(1)
Where represent the standard deviation pooled given by:
The point of estimate for is just given by:
In order to calculate the critical value we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:
Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of and
, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.025,18)".And we see that
Confidence interval
Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):
So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by
