A Student ratio from two independent samples

Let X1,X2,…,X10X_1,X_2,…,X_{10} be a random sample from the N(3,4)N(3,4) distribution and let Y1,Y2,…,Y15Y_1,Y_2,…,Y_{15} be a random sample from the N(−3,6)N(-3,6) distribution. Assume that the two samples are drawn independently. Define Xˉ=110∑i=110Xi\bar X=\frac1{10}\sum_{i=1}^{10}X_i, Yˉ=115∑j=115Yj\bar Y=\frac1{15}\sum_{j=1}^{15}Y_j, and S=19∑i=110(Xi−Xˉ)2S=\sqrt{\frac19\sum_{i=1}^{10}(X_i-\bar X)^2}. Then the distribution of U=5(Xˉ+Yˉ)SU=\dfrac{\sqrt{5}(\bar X+\bar Y)}{S} is
