a. Construct a comparative boxplot for the two samples, and comment on any interesting features.
b. Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the difference between true average degree of polymerization for the middle range and that for the high range. Does the interval suggest that μ1 and μ2 may in fact be different? Explain your reasoning.
