An article presents a study of health outcomes in women with symptoms of heart disease. In a sample of 110 women whose test resu
lts suggested the presence of coronary artery disease, the mean peak systolic blood pressure was 169.9 mmHg, with a standard deviation of 24.8 mmHg. In a sample of 225 women whose test results suggested an absence of coronary artery disease, the mean peak systolic blood pressure was 163.3 mmHg, with a standard deviation of 25.8 mmHg. Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean systolic blood pressure between these two groups of women. (Round the final answers to three decimal places.)
By rounding to the 10ths place, we can easily see that 6.3 is greater than 6.04. 6.3 is already rounded to the 10ths place, but 6.04 rounded to the 10ths place is 6.0.
6.3 is clearly more than 6.0, therefore 6.3 is greater than 6.04.
