Body Mass Index: In a survey of adults with diabetes, the average body mass index (BMI) in a sample of 1935 women was 32.50 with a standard deviation of
0.2. The average BMI in a sample of 1564 men was 30.80, with a standard deviation of 0.5.
Part: 0/ 2
Part 1 of 2
Construct 99.9% confidence interval for the difference in the mean BMI between women and men with diabetes. Let u, denote the mean BMI for women
with diabetes. Use tables to find the critical value and round the answers to at least two decimal places.
