Twelve (n₁ = 12) randomly selected mature citrus trees of one variety have a mean height of I₁ = 13.8 feet, and n₂ = 15 randomly selected mature citrus trees of another variety have a mean height of 2 = 12.9 feet. Assume that the random samples were selected from normal population with known standard deviations of o1 = 1.2 feet and 2 = 1.5 feet. We want to estimate the difference between the population mean heights of the two kinds of citrus trees. (a) Use StatKey to find the critical (quantile) value necessary to construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the population mean heights of the two kinds of citrus trees. (b) Using the critical (quantile) value you found in part (a), construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference between population mean heights of the two kinds of citrus trees. (c) Provide an appropriate interpretation of the confidence interval you found in part (b).
