Question

hi how do u solve this

A random sample of 20 wolf litters in Ontario, Canada, gave an average of x, = 4.4 wolf pups per litter, with estimated sample standard deviation
s, = 1.3. Another random sample of 5 wolf litters in Finland gave an average of x, = 2.4 wolf pups per litter, with sample standard deviation s, =
1.4.
(a) Categorize the problem below according to parameter being estimated, proportion p, mean u, difference of means µ1 - µz, or
difference of proportions p, - P2. Then solve the problem.
O P1 - P2
O H1 - 42
O P
(b) Find an 99% confidence interval for uj - H2, the difference in population mean litter size between Ontario and Finland. (Use 1 decimal
place.)
lower limit 0.2
upper limit 3.8
