If a 95% CI for the difference in two independent means is (-4.5 to 2.1), then which of the following is true? Make sure you completely read ALL of each choice below. The entire choice must be correct to be the right choice.

Group of answer choices

a.The confidence interval is (-4.5, 2.1); the first number is negative, and the second number is positive. Therefore, there IS a significant difference in means.

b.The confidence interval is (-4.5, 2.1), which overlaps 0. Therefore, there is NOT a significant difference in the two independent means.

c.The confidence interval is (-4.5, 2.1), which overlaps 0. Therefore, there IS a significant difference in two independent means.

d. The confidence interval is (-4.5, 2.1) which does NOT overlap 0. Therefore, there IS a significant difference in the two independent means.

Cholesterol levels for a group of women aged 50-59 follow an approximately normal distribution with mean 216.57 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl). Medical guidelines state that women with cholesterol levels above 240 mg/dl are considered to have high cholesterol and about 29.6% of women fall into this category. 1. What is the Z-score that corresponds to the top 29.6% (or the 70.4-th percentile) of the standard normal distribution? Round your answer to three decimal places. 2. Find the standard deviation of...
