A researcher surveys a group of college students to determine the negative life events that they experienced in the past 5 years and their current feeling of well-being. For N = 18 participants with 2 or fewer negative experiences, the average well-being score was X = 42 with SS = 398. For the N = 16 participants with 5 to 10 negative experiences the average score is X = 48.6 with SS = 370. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the population means for the two groups.
