Suppose you computed a 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean weight between two species of snakes in a large nature reserve (species #1 – species #2), and your interval is –3.6 to 61.6 ounces. What can you conclude?

1. In a situation were we are willing to use 90% confidence, this means we could say that the observed difference that we have in the sample means tend to represents a real difference in the population means.

2. We cannot actually say because even with 95% confidence, that is the observed difference in sample means tend to as well represents a real difference in the population means.

3. Because the interval extends further in the positive direction than the negative direction this means that the evidence suggests that species #1 tend to weighs more than species #2 on average, but we can't actually say for sure.

Step-by-step explanation:

The following are what I will conclude about based on the information given in the question.

1. In a situation were we are willing to use 90% confidence, this means we could say that the observed difference that we have in the sample means tend to represents a real difference in the population means.

2. We cannot actually say because even with 95% confidence, that is the observed difference in sample means tend to as well represents a real difference in the population means.

3. Because the interval extends further in the positive direction than the negative direction this means that the evidence suggests that species #1 tend to weighs more than species #2 on average, but we can't actually say for sure.
