You are a sales manager for a grocery store, and you want to see if the introduction of a new sales promotion will increase the sales in your store. To do so, you decided to create an experiment by giving a small sample of customers the promotion before expanding it to a larger customer base. You gave 12 people the promotion, and also observed the sales of 17 people who did not get the promotion as a control group. You found those who received the promotion to have an average monthly sales of $454.81, with a sample standard deviation of $46.79. You found those who did not receive the promotion had an average monthly sales of $387.23, with a sample standard deviation of $70.06. Suppose you want to create a confidence interval for promotion no promotion. What is the standard error of the difference between sample averages in your analysis?

the promotion to have an average monthly sales of $454.81, with a sample
standard deviation of $46.79. You found those who did not receive the
promotion had an average monthly sales of $387.23, with a sample standard
deviation of $70.06.

promotion no promotion. What is the standard error of the
difference between sample averages in your analysis?
