Random samples of 5 Japanese women and 10 Japanese men showed an average life span of 83 years for the women and 77 years for the men. The standard deviation was 2 years for the women and 1 year for the men. Calculate a 95 confidence interval for the difference in average life spans (women - men). Assume that the life spans are normally distributed, but do not assume the population variances are equal, and use the conservative by-hand estimate for the degrees of freedom.
