The following results are for independent random samples taken from two populations.
| Sample 1 | Sample 2 | 
|---|---|
| 
 n1 = 20  | 
 n2 = 30  | 
| 
 x1 = 22.8  | 
 x2 = 20.1  | 
| 
 s1 = 2.3  | 
 s2 = 4.8  | 
(a) What is the point estimate of the difference between the two population means? (Use x1 − x2.)
(b) What is the degrees of freedom for the t distribution? (Round your answer down to the nearest integer.)
(c) At 95% confidence, what is the margin of error? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)
(d) What is the 95% confidence interval for the difference between the two population means? (Use x1 − x2. Round your answers to one decimal place.)
