 Independent random samples from two regions in the same area gave

Independent random samples from two regions in the same area gave the following chemical measurements (ppm). Assume the population distributions of the chemical are mound-shaped and symmetric for these two regions. Let mu subscript 1 be the population mean for x subscript 1 and mu subscript 2 be the population mean for x subscript 2 . Suppose the confidence interval for mu subscript 1 minus mu subscript 2 for a specific level of confidence is - 30.77 to 2.25. Does the interval consist of numbers that are all positive? all negative? or different signs? At the given level of confidence, is one region more interesting than the other from a geochemical perspective
