An electrical engineer wishes to compare the mean lifetimes of two types of transistors in an application involving high-temperature performance. A sample of 60 transistors of type A were tested and were found to have a mean lifetime of 1827 hours and a standard deviation of 176 hours. A sample of 180 transistors of type B were tested and were found to have a mean lifetime of 1658 hours and a standard deviation of 246 hours. Let μX represent the population mean for transistors of type A and μY represent the population mean for transistors of type B. Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference μX-μY. Round the answers to three decimal places.
