A researcher wishes to determine whether people with high blood pressure can lower their blood pressure by performing yoga exercises. A treatment group and a control group are selected. The sample statistics are given below. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the difference between the two population means, Would you recommend using yoga exercises? Treatment Group Control Group n1 = 100 n2 = 100 1 = 178 2 = 193 s1 = 35 s2 = 37

90% confidence interval for the difference between the two population means

( -23.4166 , -6.5834)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given first sample size n₁ = 100

Given mean of the first sample x₁⁻ = 178

Standard deviation of the sample S₁ = 35

Given second sample size n₂= 100

Given mean of the second sample x₂⁻ = 193

Standard deviation of the sample S₂ = 37

Step(ii):-

Standard error of two population means

Degrees of freedom

ν  = n₁ +n₂ -2 = 100 +100 -2 = 198

t₀.₁₀ = 1.6526

Step(iii):-

90% confidence interval for the difference between the two population means

(178-193 - 1.6526 (5.093) , 178-193 + 1.6526 (5.093)

(-15-8.4166 , -15 + 8.4166)

( -23.4166 , -6.5834)

lr = 24

step-by-step explanation:

note that p is the midpoint of lr. to find the measurement of lr, set the equation:

lr = lp + pr

plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variables:

lr = (15) + (9)

simplify:

lr = 24

24 is your measurement of lr.
