Farren et al. (2004) compared the toughness of human fingernails along a transverse dimension (side to side) with the toughness along a longitudinal direction, with 14 measurements of each. The toughness of fingernails along a transverse direction averaged 3.3 kJ/m2, with a standard deviation of 0.65, while the mean toughness along the longitudinal direction was 6.2kJ/m², with a standard deviation of 1.41. Assume that the data are from two independent samples of 14 people What is the pooled sample variance (s)? (calculate your answer to three decimal places)
