Question: we have two simple random samples of leatherback turtles from the Pacific Ocean and from the Atlantic Ocean . the average weights from each sample

we have two simple random samples of leatherback turtles from the Pacific Ocean and from the Atlantic Ocean . the average weights from each sample were recorded in pounds. Danielles boss wants her to construct 90% confidence interval for the difference of means m1-m2. let the pacific turtles weight present m1 and the Atlantic represent m2. let the degrees of freedom be df=42. follow her steps below using the given data summary and write correct if she made no mistakes or fix her mistakes if there are any. a) Danielle finds her critical value to be t*=1.684 and her margin of error to be10.45. b)she finds the point estimate to be -11.8 so her 90% confidence interval is -22.5 < m1-m2<-1.35. when interpreting this for her boss she says there is 90% chance that the difference in weights of turtles from the pacific and Atlantic are between -22.25 and -1.25 pounds. c) Danielles boss wants her to relate this to hypothesis testing. she says that her hypothesis will be Ho: m1=m2 and ha: m1 does not equal m2 and her significance level will be a=0.90. d) to conclude her hypothesis testing Danielle says that since 0 is. not in her confidence interval there is not enough evidencer at the a=0.90 signifcance level to rject the null hypothesis meaning there is no significant difference in the turtles weights based on which ocean they are from
