Political Prisoners. According to the American Psychiatric Association, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a common psychological consequence of traumatic events that involve a threat to life or physical integrity. During the Cold War, some 200,000 people in East Germany were imprisoned for political reasons. Many were subjected to physical and psychological torture during their imprisonment, resulting in PTSD. A. Ehlers et al. studied various characteristics of political prisoners from the former East Germany and presented their findings in the paper "Posttraumatic Stress Dis-order (PTSD) Following Political Imprisonment: The Role of Mental Defeat, Alienation, and Perceived Permanent Change" (Journal of Abnormal Psychology, Vol. 109, pp. 45-55). The researchers randomly and independently selected 32 former prisoners diagnosed with chronic PTSD and 20 former prisoners that were diagnosed with PTSD after release from prison but had since recovered (remitted). The ages, in years, at arrest yielded the following summary statistics.

At the significance level, is there sufficient evidence to conclude that a difference exists in the mean age at arrest of East German prisoners with chronic PTSD and remitted PTSD?
10.34 Explain why is called the pooled sample standard deviation.
In each of Exercises 10.75-10.80, we have provided summary statistics for independent simple random samples from two populations. In each case, use the non pooled -test and the non pooled t-interval procedure to conduct the required hypothesis test and obtain the specified confidence interval,
.
a. Left-tailed test, .
b. confidence interval.
The primary concern is deciding whether the mean of Population 1 is less than the mean of Population 2.
In each of exercise 10.13-10.18, we have presented a confidence interval for the difference,, between two population means. interpret each confidence intervaL
