A random sample of 10 sales receipts for mail-order sales results in a mean sale amount of $79.20 with a standard deviation of $18.75 A random sample of 16 sales receipts for internet sales results in a mean sale amount of $70.30 with a standard deviation of $28.75 Using this data, find the 98% confidence interval for the true mean difference between the mean amount of mail-order purchases and the mean amount of internet purchases. Assume that the population variances are not equal and that the two populations are normally distributed. Step 2 of 3 : Find the margin of error to be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to six decimal places. Step 3: Find the upper and lower limits of the confidence interval.
