Explanation / Answer

Sample size n1= 5
Mean (x1): 26.8
Variance 1 (s^2): 9.7

STD1 3.11

Sample size: n2= 5

Mean (x 2): 22.8
Variance 2 (s^2): 27.2

STD2Sqrt (27.2)= 5.21

Critical value of t = 3.35

Margin of error = Critical value x Standard error of the statistic

=3.35* 1.36= 4.55
Pooled Variance
s2p = (SS1 + SS2) / (df1 + df2) = 36.82 / 8 = 4.6

Standard Error
s(M1 - M2) = ((s2p/n1) + (s2p/n2)) = ((4.6/5) + (4.6/5)) = 1.36

Confidence Interval
1 - 2 = (M1 - M2) ± ts(M1 - M2) = 4 ± (3.36 * 1.36) = 4 ± 4.552

1 - 2 = (M1 - M2) = 4, 99% CI [-0.552, 8.552].

You can be 99% confident that the difference between your two population means (1 - 2) lies between -0.552 and 8.552.
