A consumer agency wanted to estimate the difference in the mean amounts of caffeine in two brands of coffee. The agency took a sample of 15 one-pound jars of Brand I coffee that showed the mean amount of caffeine in these jars to be 80 milligrams per jar with a standard deviation of 5 milligrams. Another sample of 12 one-pound jars of Brand II coffee gave a mean amount of caffeine equal to 77 milligrams per jar with a standard deviation of 6 milligrams. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the mean amounts of caffeine in one-pound jars of these two brands of coffee. Assume that the populations are normally distributed and the standard deviations of the two populations are equal. Interpret your answer.
