Using a driving simulator, a human factors psychologist measured the time to press the brake pedal after a visual alert for younger and older drivers. The mean reaction time for a sample of 20 younger drivers was 2.8 sec with a standard deviation of .3 sec, and 3.2 sec for a sample of 18 older drivers with a standard deviation of .4. Compute a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the population means for the two groups using the t-distribution. What is the lower limit?

a.0.715
b.0.085
c.0.165
