Independent random samples of 100 observations each are chosen from two normal
populations with the following means and standard deviations. $$\begin{array} { l l } \text { Population 1 } & \text { Population 2 } \\\mu _ { 1 } = 15 & \mu _ { 2 } = 13 \\\sigma _ { 1 } = 3 & \sigma _ { 2 } = 2\end{array}$$
Find the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of $\left( \bar { x } _ { 1 } - \bar { x } _ { 2 } \right)$ .
