An article reports an investigation into the toxicity of bilirubin on several cell lines. Ten sets of human liver cells and 5 sets of mouse fibroblast cells were placed into solutions of bilirubin in albumin with a 1.4 bilirubin/albumin molar ratio for 24 hours. In the 10 sets of human liver cells, the average percentage of cells surviving was 53.9 with a standard deviation of 10.7. In the 5 sets of mouse fibroblast cells, the average percentage of cells surviving was 73.1 with a standard deviation of 9.1. Let μXμX represent the population mean for the mouse cells and let μYμY  represent the population mean for the human cells. Find a 98% confidence interval for the difference μX−μYμX−μY .

An article reports an investigation into the toxicity of bilirubin on several cell lines. Ten sets of human liver cells and 5 sets of mouse fibroblast cells were placed into solutions of bilirubin in albumin with a 1.4 bilirubin/albumin molar ratio for 24 hours. In the 10 sets of human liver cells, the average percentage of cells surviving was 53.9 with a standard deviation of 10.7. In the 5 sets of mouse fibroblast cells, the average percentage of cells surviving was 73.1 with a standard deviation of 9.1. Let μXμX represent the population mean for the mouse cells and let μYμY  represent the population mean for the human cells. Find a 98% confidence interval for the difference μX−μYμX−μY . Round down the degrees of freedom to the nearest integer and round the answers to three decimal places.
