a) Find a 98% confidence interval for the difference in mean
blood cholesterol levels dogs brought to the clinic (P) and dogs
owned by the clinic (C).
(Round your answers to 4 decimal places, if needed.)
b) Based on this confidence interval, can we conclude there is
some differences in mean blood cholesterol levels between the
two groups?
Yes, since the interval contains 0.
No, since the interval is completely above 0.
