Assume that you have a sample of n, 8, with the sample mean X, 41, and a sample standard deviation of S₁ = 7, and you have an independent sample of n₂ = 13 from another population with a sample mean of n of X₂ = 38, and the sample standard deviation S₂ = 5. Construct a 90% confidence interval estimate of the population mean difference between ₁ and ₂. Assume that the two population variances are equal.
