Problem 4

A psychologist is studying the difference in average reaction times (in milliseconds) between two age groups. The data collected are: Group 11 (Young Adults): xˉ1=245\bar{x}_1=245, s1=15s_1=15, n1=6n_1=6; Group 22 (Older Adults): xˉ2=278\bar{x}_2=278, s2=22s_2=22, n2=8n_2=8. Construct an 80%80\% confidence interval for the difference in mean reaction times (Young Adults - Older Adults). Assume unequal variances and approximately normal populations.
