The mean tar content of a simple random sample of 25 unfiltered king-size cigarettes is 20.8 mg, with a standard deviation of 3 mg. The mean tar content of a simple random sample of 25 filtered 100-mm cigarettes is 13.0 mg with a standard deviation of 3.9 mg. The accompanying table shows the data. Assume that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally distributed populations, and do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal. Let population 1 be unfiltered king-size cigarettes. Complete parts (a) through (c) below.

(Round to three decimal places as needed.) State the conclusion for the test. ▼ Fail to reject Reject the null hypothesis. There ▼ is is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that unfiltered king-size cigarettes have a mean tar content greater than that of filtered 100-mm cigarettes. This suggests that cigarette filters are ▼ effective not significantly effective in reducing tar. b. Construct an 80% confidence interval estimate of the difference between the mean tar content of unfiltered king-size cigarettes and the mean tar content of filtered 100-mm cigarettes. Does the result suggest that 100-mm filtered cigarettes have less tar than unfiltered king-size cigarettes? The 80% confidence interval estimate is enter your response here<μ1−μ2
