Question

Large samples of women and men are obtained and the hemoglobin level is measured in each subject. Here is the 95% confidence interval or the difference between the two population means, where the measures from women correspond to population 1 and the measures from men correspond to population 2 -1.76 g / dL·1 <-1.62 g /dL. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. a. What does the confidence interval suggest about equality of the mean hemoglobin level in women and the mean hemoglobin level in men? Because the confidence interval Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.) b. Write a brief statement that interprets that confidence interval ▼ | it appears that there | ▼ a significant difference between the mean level of hemoglobin in women and the mean level of hemoglobin in men. A. There is 95% confidence that the interval from-1.76 g-dL to-1.62 g/dL actually contains the value of the difference between the two population means (μ1- O B. There is 95% confidence that the interval from-1.76 g-dL to-1.62 g, dL does not contain the value of the difference between the two population means ( -แ ° C. There is 95% confidence that the difference between the two population means is not 0 O D. There is 95% confidence that the difference between the two population means ( -μ2) is either-1.76 g, dL or-1.62 g /dL.

Answer 1

Answer

(A) it is clear that the confidence interval does not include 0, this means that there is a significant difference between men and women means.

Because the confidence interval include 0, it appears that there is a significant difference between the mean level of hemoglobin in women and men

(B) we have calculated the confidence interval for the mean difference and found that the result is significant. So, we can say that there is 95% confidence that the interval from -1.76 and -1.62 actually contains the value of the difference between the two population means

option A is correct

(C) when interchanging men and women, the confidence interval range sign will change, so we will get confidence interval from 1.62 to 1.76

therefore, option B is correct
