Formulating the null and alternative hypotheses,              
              
Ho:   u1 - u2   <=   0  
Ha:   u1 - u2   >   0  
At level of significance =    0.05          
As we can see, this is a    right   tailed test.      
Calculating the means of each group,              
              
X1 =    2127          
X2 =    1843          
              
Calculating the standard deviations of each group,              
              
s1 =    513          
s2 =    446          
              
Thus, the standard error of their difference is, by using sD = sqrt(s1^2/n1 + s2^2/n2):              
              
n1 = sample size of group 1 =    13          
n2 = sample size of group 2 =    14          
Thus, df = n1 + n2 - 2 =    25          
Also, sD =    185.6126476          
              
Thus, the t statistic will be              
              
t = [X1 - X2 - uD]/sD =    1.530068148          
              
where uD = hypothesized difference =    0          
              
Now, the critical value for t is              
              
tcrit =        1.708140761      
              
Thus, comparing t and tcrit, we decide to   WE FAIL TO REJECT THE NULL HYPOTHESIS.          
              
Also, using p values,              
              
p =    0.069278108          
              
Comparing this to the significance level,    WE FAIL TO REJECT THE NULL HYPOTHESIS.

Note that              
              
p^ = point estimate of the population proportion = x / n =    0.54          
              
Also, we get the standard error of p, sp:              
              
sp = sqrt[p^ (1 - p^) / n] =    0.017094891          
              
Now, for the critical z,              
alpha/2 =   0.025          
Thus, z(alpha/2) =    1.959963985          
Thus,              
Margin of error = z(alpha/2)*sp =    0.03350537          
lower bound = p^ - z(alpha/2) * sp =   0.50649463          
upper bound = p^ + z(alpha/2) * sp =    0.57350537          
              
Thus, the confidence interval is              
              
(   0.50649463   ,   0.57350537   ) [ANSWER]
