Suppose that the sample sizes selected by the university for the two samples were both $\mathrm { n } _ { \mathrm { e } } = \mathrm { n } _ { \mathrm { b } } = 15$ . What critical value should be used by the university in the calculations for the 95% confidence interval for ?e - ?b? Assume that the university used the pooled estimate of the population variances in the calculation of the confidence interval.
