women μw (unknown) nw= 56 x¯w= 18443 sw=7460 SEw=997
men μm (unknown) nm= 56 x¯m= 16576 sm=7871 SEm=1052

 

df=109.6851

 

Assume the conditions are satisfied for a two‑sample t‑confidence interval. First, determine the positive critical value, t, for a 90% confidence interval to estimate how many more words women speak each day on average compared to men, μw−μm.

Give your answer precise to at least three decimal places.
