Does socioeconomic status relate to age at time of HIV infection? For 274 high-income HIV-positive individuals the average age of infection was 33.0 years with a standard deviation of 6.3, while for 90 low-income individuals the average age was 28.6 years with a standard deviation of 6.3 (The Lancet, October 22, 1994, page 1121). Find a 90% confidence interval estimate for the difference in ages of high-and low-income people at the time of HIV infection.
