Two surveys each record the scores of 100100 people from a population with SD 1010. By coincidence, 5050 of the people are in BOTH surveys (their scores are the same in both); the other 5050 in each survey are different, independently chosen people. What is the variance of xˉ1−xˉ2\bar x_1 - \bar x_2, the difference between the two survey means?
