The population standard deviation for underclassmen is knownto be 22.57 and the population standard deviation for upperclassmenis known to be 13.57.

Upper Classmen average = 202.4, population SD = 13.57, n =30

Under Classmen average = 191.3, population SD = 22.57, n =30

Is there evidence to suggest that a difference exists in gymusage based on age? Construct a confidence interval for the dataabove to decide. Use α=0.10. Confidence Interval (round to 4decimal places):
