Question:
In a study of weight loss, suppose a mean weight loss of 4 pounds per month would be deemed clinically relevant.
From thegiven possible confidence intervals, choose which would satisfy each scenario. Confidence intervals are in standard form with (lower, upper) such a (2.3, 6.7).
1. Both statistically significant and clinically relevant:
A. (5.2, 7.2)
B. (2.3, 6.7)
C. (-1.7, 3.8)
D. (-0.5, 5.3)
E. (1.3, 3.5)
2. Statistically significant but NOT clinically relevant:
A. (5.2, 7.2)
B. (2.3, 6.7)
C. (-1.7, 3.8)
