Random samples of female and male UVA undergraduates are asked to estimate the number of alcoholic drinks that each consumes on a typical weekend. The data is below:
Females (Population 1): 2, 2, 2, 1, 3, 1, 3, 5, 5, 3
Males (Population 2): 5, 5, 6, 4, 4, 6, 3, 3, 3, 5
Give a 92.3% confidence interval for the difference between mean female and male drink consumption. (Assume that the population variances are equal.)
