The mean yardage for the helium filled footballs was 267 yards with a standard deviation of 3 yards. The mean yardage for the air filled footballs was 241 yards with a standard deviation of 5 yards. Assume the populations are normal with equal variances. (a). Construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean difference in in yardage for the two types of footballs Lower bound (use 3 decimal places) Upper bound (use 3 decimal places) (b).
