A researcher wishes to see if there is a difference in the cholesterol levels of two groups of men. A random sample of 30 men between the ages of 25 and 40 is selected and tested. The average level is 223.A second random sample of 25 men between the ages of 41 and 56 is selected and tested. The average of this group is 229. The population standard deviation for both groups is 6. At α = 0.01, is there a difference in the cholesterol levels between the two groups? Find the 99% confidence interval for the difference of the two means.
