Amara was working on a report on Greek and Egyptian mathematicians. She decided to find a 98 percent confidence interval for the difference in mean age at the time of significant mathematics discoveries for Greek versus Egyptian mathematicians. She found the ages at the time of math discovery of all the members of both groups and found the 98 percent confidence interval based on a t-distribution using a calculator.

The procedure she used is not appropriate in this context becauseA. The sample sizes for the two groups are not equal. B. Age at the time of math discovery occurs at different intervals in the two countries, so the distribution of ages cannot be the same. C. Ages at the time of math discovery are likely to be skewed rather than bell shaped, so the assumptions for using this confidence interval formula are not valid. D. Age at the time of math discovery is likely to have a few large outliers, so the assumption for using this confidence interval formula is not valid. E. The entire population is measured in both cases, so the actual difference in means can be computed and a confidence interval should not be used.
