Confidence interval for normal mean

Let X1,X2,…,X16X_1, X_2, \dots, X_{16} be a random sample from a N(4μ,1)N(4\mu, 1) distribution and Y1,Y2,…,Y8Y_1, Y_2, \dots, Y_8 be a random sample from a N(μ,1)N(\mu, 1) distribution, where μ∈R\mu\in\mathbb{R} is unknown. Assume that the two random samples are independent. If you are looking for a confidence interval for μ\mu based on the statistic 8Xˉ+Yˉ8\bar{X}+\bar{Y}, where Xˉ=116∑i=116Xi\bar{X}=\frac{1}{16}\sum_{i=1}^{16}X_i and Yˉ=18∑i=18Yi\bar{Y}=\frac{1}{8}\sum_{i=1}^8 Y_i, then which one of the following statements is true?
