a. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference in the population means based on these data.
b. Test, at the 5% level of significance, whether the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that fish in the polluted lake have elevated levels of mercury in their tissue.

sample 1 polluted lake	sample 2 unpolluted lake
0.580	0.382
0.711	0.276
