Cardiologists use the short-range scaling exponent α1, which measures the randomness of heart rate patterns, as a tool to assess risk of heart attack. The article “Applying Fractal Analysis to Short Sets of Heart Rate Variability Data” compared values of α1 computed from long series of measurements (approximately 40,000 heartbeats) with those estimated from the first 300 beats to determine how well the long-term measurement (y) could be predicted the short-term one (x). Following are the data (obtained by digitizing a graph).

This differs from the data set given for this problem in the text. Find a 95% confidence interval for the mean long-term measurement for those with short-term measurements of 1.2. Round the answers to three decimal places. The 95% confidence interval is ( , ).
