I need help with this please
![Two catalysts in a batch chemical process are being compared for their effect on the output of the process reaction. A
sample of 11 batches was prepared using catalyst 1 and gave an average yield of 94 with a sample standard deviation
of 4. A sample of 15 batches was prepared using catalyst 2 and gave an average yield of 89 and a sample standard
deviation of 5. Find a 99% confidence interval for the difference between the population means, assuming that the
populations are approximately normally distributed with equal variances.

Click here to view page 2 of the table of critical values of the t-distribution.
Let μ₁ be the population mean for catalyst 1 and let μ₂ be the population mean for catalyst 2.
The confidence interval is ] < H₁ = H₂ < [
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/60d60483-3b91-4b14-b6e0-d18f4cf37a4c/f91c82e9-fccb-4820-915d-152a9514c2d2/kri5vr_thumbnail.png)
