Construct the Indicated Confidence Interval for the Difference Between the Two

Question 56

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.
 Treatment Group  Control Groupn1=85n2=75x1=189.1x2=203.7 s1=38.7 s2=39.2\begin{array} { l } \text { Treatment Group }& \text { Control Group}\\\hline \mathrm{n}_{1}=85 &\mathrm{n}_{2}=75 \\\overline{\mathrm{x}_{1}}=189.1 & \overline{\mathrm{x}_{2}}=203.7 \\\mathrm{~s}_{1}=38.7 & \mathrm{~s}_{2}=39.2\end{array}


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
