A study was conducted in which two types of engines, X and Y, were compared. Gas mileage, in miles per gallon, was measured. Fifty experiments were conducted using engine type X and 75 experiments were done with engine type Y. The gasoline used and other conditions were held constant. The average gas mileage was 36 miles per gallon for engine X and 42 miles per gallon for engine Y. Find a 96% confidence interval on μY − μX, where μX and μY are population mean gas mileages for engines X and Y, respectively. Assume that the population standard deviations are 6 and 8 for engines X and Y, respectively.
