Question
A study of working actors looked at age and gender. One sample of 55 male actors had a mean age of 32 and a standard deviation of 2. The other sample included 55 female actors with a mean age of 28 and a standard deviation of 4. Estimate with 90% confidence the difference between the average ages of working male (μ1) and female (μ2)actors. Round answers to the nearest hundredth.

An EMT wants to see if the average will decline if the patient is immediately told the truth about the injury. The EMT randomly selected 55 injured patients to immediately tell the truth about the injury and noticed that they averaged 13.1 minutes for their blood to begin clotting after their injury.
