a) Find an unbiased estimate of σ^2.

b) Calculate an 96% confidence interval for μ_X-μ_Y.

c) Test whether the mean lifetime of all Duracell batteries isless than the mean lifetime of all Eveready batteries. State thenull and alternative hypotheses, determine the critical region,make a decision based on α=0.05 and write your conclusion.
