Final answer:

The formula for calculating the confidence interval for the difference between two means for large samples is (X1 - X2) ± (Z * √((S1^2 / n1) + (S2^2 / n2)))

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating the confidence interval for the difference between two means for large samples is:

CI = (X1 - X2) ± (Z * √((S1^2 / n1) + (S2^2 / n2)))

Where:

  • CI is the confidence interval
  • X1 and X2 are the means of the two samples
  • Z is the z-score corresponding to the desired confidence level
  • S1 and S2 are the standard deviations of the two samples
  • n1 and n2 are the sizes of the two samples
