- A researcher was interested in comparing weekly salaries between men and women. Independent samples were drawn to find the average salary for each group. A 90% confidence interval for the difference between female and male employees was determined to be (-$110, $10) in a given week. Interpret the confidence interval Zero is contained in the interval so the probability that male employees earn the same as females is 0.9. 90% of the time, women earn less than men. ore per ek Based on these data, we would assume that female employees average between $110 and $10 than male employees O We are 90% confident that men earn between $110 less or $10 more than women in a given week.arrow_forwardOut of 400 people sampled, 340 received flu vaccinations this year.
