Consider the following results for two samples randomly taken from two populations.

                                                 Sample A Sample B

Sample Size                                  130        130
Sample Mean                                412        405
Sample Standard Deviation          140          80


a. At a .01 level of significance, test whether there is a difference between the 2 sample means (Please show work).

b. Construct a 98 percent confidence interval estimate of the difference between the two sample means (Please show work).
