Question: An experiment was conducted to determine the thermal maximum temperature for two different species of ants. Below are 25 random samples from a larger population
- An experiment was conducted to determine the thermal maximum temperature for two different species of ants. Below are 25 random samples from a larger population of the two species.
- Determine the 95% confidence intervals for each sample mean (i.e. ant species)
- Determine the 99% confidence intervals for each sample mean (i.e. ant species)
- Make a statement about the thermal maximum for the 95% CI comparing the two ant species
