2. US department of labor wanted to compare the average unemployment rate in two different states California and Washington. From California they took a sample of size 12 and found that sample mean 20.32 and sample standard deviation is 3.55. From Washington they took a sample of size 15 and found that sample mean 21.24 and sample standard deviation is 2.70. Find the critical value (use t-table) to compute 95% confidence interval of the true difference in population.
