Question

Independent random samples of professional football and basketball players gave the following information. Assume that the weight distributions are mound-shaped and symmetric.

Weights (in lb) of pro football players: x1n1 = 21
246 261 255 251 244 276 240 265 257 252 282
256 250 264 270 275 245 275 253 265 270
Weights (in lb) of pro basketball players: x2n2 = 19
202 200 220 210 191 215 223 216 228 207
225 208 195 191 207 196 182 193 201
 
(a) Use a calculator with mean and standard deviation keys to calculate x1s1, x2, and s2. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)
x1 =  
s1 =  
x2 =  
s2 =  

(b) Let μ1 be the population mean for x1 and let μ2 be the population mean for x2. Find a 99% confidence interval for μ1 − μ2. (Round your answers to one decimal place.)
