Calculate an upper confidence bound for the true average difference between 1-minute modulus and 4-week modulus; first check the plausibility of any necessary assumptions. (Use ? = 0.05. Round your answer to two decimal places.)
MPa

Interpret your upper confidence bound.

We are 95% confident that the true mean difference between 1-minute modulus and 4-week modulus is never the upper bound.We are 95% confident that the true mean difference between 1-minute modulus and 4-week modulus is exactly the upper bound.     We are 95% confident that the true mean difference between 1-minute modulus and 4-week modulus is at most the upper bound.We are 95% confident that the true mean difference between 1-minute modulus and 4-week modulus is at least the upper bound.
