Question

correct answer please?

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) performed a study that compared the carbohydrate content (as a percentage of weight) of several major brands of corn and potato chips. Fourteen brands of corn chips were sampled and 14 brands of potato chips were sampled. Data was collected and the following 95% confidence interval was computed for the difference in means. carbohydrate content between the Corn Chip and Potato Chip groups. The C.I. is: (27.292, 39.836) where mu_1| = the average carbohydrate content as a percentage of weight in corn chips. and mu_2| = the average carbohydrate content as a percentage of weight in potato chips. Select the best answer below. Select one: A. We are 95% confident that there is no statistically significant difference in the average carbohydrate content as a percentage of weight between corn chips and potato chips. B. We are 95% confident that the average carbohydrate content as a percentage of weight in corn chips is lower than the average carbohydrate content as a percentage of weight in potato chips. C. We are 95% confident that the average carbohydrate content as a percentage of weight in corn chips is higher than the average carbohydrate content as a percentage of weight in potato chips. D. None of these are correct.

Explanation / Answer

as above interval has values higher then 0 which indicate that corn chip has higher value then potato chips

therefore option C is correct
