Random Samples of 5 Japanese Women and 10 Japanese Men μ\mu

Question 87

Short Answer

Random samples of 5 Japanese women and 10 Japanese men showed an average life span of 83 years for the women and 77 years for the men. The standard deviation was 2 years for the women and 1 year for the men. Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the difference in average life spans (women μ\mu men). Assume that the life spans are normally distributed, but do not assume the population variances are equal, and use the conservative "by-hand" estimate for the degrees of freedom.
