Step-by-step explanation:

The assumptions include:

The samples from each population must be independent of one another: this was adequately met.

The populations from which the samples are taken must be normally distributed: this was not talked about

The population standard deviations must be known: not known

or the sample sizes must be large (i. e. n1≥30 and n2≥30: true

The validity conditions for a two-sample z-test/interval were not all adequately met
