8 An examination involved writing an essay. In order to compare the time taken to write the essay by students in two large colleges, a sample of 12 students from college \(A\) and a sample of 8 students from college \(B\) were randomly selected. The times, \(t _ { A }\) and \(t _ { B }\), taken for these students to write the essay were measured, correct to the nearest minute, and are summarised by
$$n _ { A } = 12 , \quad \Sigma t _ { A } = 257 , \quad \Sigma t _ { A } ^ { 2 } = 5629 , \quad n _ { B } = 8 , \quad \Sigma t _ { B } = 206 , \quad \Sigma t _ { B } ^ { 2 } = 5359$$
Stating any required assumptions, calculate a \(95 \%\) confidence interval for the difference in the population means.
State, giving a reason, whether your confidence interval supports the statement that the population means, for the two colleges, are equal.
