question

7.4-15. If X¯\bar{X} and Y¯\bar{Y} are the respective means of two independent random samples of the same size nn, find nn if we want x¯−y¯±4\bar{x}-\bar{y} \pm 4 to be a 90%90 \% confidence interval for μX−μY\mu_X-\mu_Y. Assume that the standard deviations are known to be σX=15\sigma_X=15 and σY=25\sigma_Y=25.

7.4-15. If (X)¯ and (Y)¯ are the respective means of two independent random samples of the same size n, find n if we want (x)¯−(y)¯±4 to be a 90% confidence interval for μ_(X)−μ_(Y). Assume that the standard deviations are known to be σ_(X)=15 and σ_(Y)=25.
Original LaTeX notation
7.4-15. If $\bar{X}$ and $\bar{Y}$ are the respective means of two independent random samples of the same size $n$, find $n$ if we want $\bar{x}-\bar{y} \pm 4$ to be a $90 \%$ confidence interval for $\mu_X-\mu_Y$. Assume that the standard deviations are known to be $\sigma_X=15$ and $\sigma_Y=25$.
