Working Breath Rate Two random samples of 32 individuals were selected. One sample participated in an activity which simulates hard work. The average breath rate of these individuals was 21 breaths per minute. The other sample did some normal walking. The mean breath rate of these individuals was 14. Find the 90% confidence interval of the difference in the breath rates if the population standard deviation was 4.2 for breath rate per minute.
