A researcher wants to know if statisticians in the private sector are paid better than statisticians in the public sector.  She selects random samples from both areas the results are summarized below.  Form a 95% confidence interval for the average difference between the salaries of government statisticians and private sector statisticians (Do not assume equal variances).

 Government                        Private

n = 26                                    n = 28 sample mean = 35.50           sample mean = 54.60 s = 4.16                                 s = 4.4
