A reseаrcher is cоmpаring the аverage durability оf Brand A and Brand B tires. Twо independent samples are collected, one for each brand, to test if there is a significant difference in their mean durability. The variances of the two brands are assumed to be unequal. For Brand A tires, there are  samples, and the sample variance is For Brand B tires, there are  samples, and the sample variance is a. Calculate the approximate degrees of freedom  for the test statistic comparing the mean durability of the two brands.
