[Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise (January 1990).] Let X and Y equal, respectively, the blood volumes in milliliters for a male who is a paraplegic and participates in vigorous physical activities and for a male who is able-bodied and participates in everyday, ordinary activities. Assume that X is N(X , 2 X ) and Y is N(Y, 2 Y). Following are n = 7 observations of X: 1612 1352 1456 1222 1560 1456 1924 Following are m = 10 observations of Y: 1082 1300 1092 1040 910 1248 1092 1040 1092 1288 Use the observations of X and Y to (a) Give a point estimate for X Y . (b) Find a 95% confidence interval for X Y . Since the variances 2 X and 2 Y might not be equal, use Welchs T.
