Fifteen fruit flies were assigned at random to three treatments, five to each treatment. The minutes of rest measured over a 12-hour period were recorded; the data follow.   Minitab was used to obtain 95% simultaneous confidence intervals for the differences in means among the three treatments using Tukey's procedure; the results follow.   From these intervals: A) there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that <font face= symbol ></font><sub>control </sub><font face= symbol ></font> <font face= symbol ></font><sub>low</sub>. B) there is sufficient evidence to conclude that <font face= symbol ></font><sub>control </sub><font face= symbol ></font> <font face= symbol ></font><sub>high</sub>. C) there is sufficient evidence to conclude that <font face= symbol ></font><sub>high </sub><font face= symbol ></font> <font face= symbol ></font><sub>low</sub>.
