A survey is planned to compare salaries of plant managers in two regions. The plan is to take a sample of 400 plant
managers from each region and ask their annual salaries. Assume that previous sample statistics suggest that
0₁ = 02 = $4000. Are the sample sizes sufficient to produce a 95% confidence interval on μ₁-μ₂ having a width of only
$1000?
