  u  2-Sample  Z  Interval
   2-Sample   Z    Interval  calculates the confi dence interval for the difference between two 
population means when the population standard deviations of two samples are known.
  The following is the confi dence interval. 
α  is the level of signifi cance. The value 100 (1 –  α ) 
% is the confi dence level.
   
 ¯  x  1  : mean of sample 1
   
 ¯  x  2  : mean of sample 2
   
 σ
  1  : population standard deviation  
    of sample 1
   
 σ
  2  : population standard deviation  
    of sample 2
   
n  1  : size of sample 1
   
n  2  : size of sample 2
