题目
Ellie is investigating the heights of two types of beech tree, and , in a certain region. She has chosen a random sample of 60 beech trees of type in the region, recorded their heights, m, and calculated unbiased estimates for the population mean and population variance as m and m respectively.
Ellie also chooses a random sample of 50 beech trees of type in the region and records their heights, m. Her results are summarised as follows.
Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the population mean heights of type and type beech trees in the region.

For type , the sample mean is and the unbiased variance estimate is
Using the two independent samples and the large-sample normal approximation, the estimated standard error of is
The confidence interval for is
Thus the interval is m.
