Construct the Indicated Confidence Interval for the Difference Between the Two

Question 4

Multiple Choice

Construct the indicated confidence interval for the difference between the two population means. Assume that the two samples are independent and that they have been randomly selected.
-A researcher wishes to determine whether people with high blood pressure can reduce their blood pressure by following a particular diet. Use the sample data below to construct a 99%99 \% confidence interval for u1\mathrm { u } _ { 1 } - u2\mathrm { u } _ { 2 } where u1u _ { 1 } and u2u _ { 2 } represent the mean for the treatment group and the control group respectively.

A) 1.3<μ1μ2<30.5- 1.3 < \mu _ { 1 } - \mu _ { 2 } < 30.5
B) 29.0<μ1μ2<0.2- 29.0 < \mu _ { 1 } - \mu _ { 2 } < - 0.2
C) 26.7<μ1μ2<2.5- 26.7 < \mu _ { 1 } - \mu _ { 2 } < - 2.5
D) 30.9<μ1μ2<1.7- 30.9 < \mu _ { 1 } - \mu _ { 2 } < 1.7
