The article “Dynamics of Insulin Action in Hyperten- sion: Assessment from Minimal Model Interpretation  of Intravenous Glucose Tolerance Test Data” (R. Bu- rattini, M. Morettini, et al., Med Biol Eng Comput,  2011:831–841) compared levels of an insulin sensitivity index SI in patients with high blood pressure  and patients with normal blood pressure. Ten patients with high blood pressure had a mean value of 3.4 with  a standard deviation of 0.6, and eight patients with nor- mal blood pressure had a mean value of 7.9 with a standard deviation of 0.6. Units are \(10^{-5}\) · \(m i n^{-1}\) · \(\mathrm{pmol}^{-1}\)  . Find a 98% confidence interval for the difference in mean levels between those with high blood pressure and those with normal blood pressure.
