Yuna grows two varieties of pears—Bosc and Anjou. She took a sample of each variety to test if their average caloric contents were significantly different. Here is a summary of her results:

Assume that all conditions for inference have been met.
Based on the interval, what do we know about the corresponding P-value and conclusion at the \alpha=0.01α=0.01alpha, equals, 0, point, 01 level of significance?

Answer:

The P-value is greater than α=0.01 and she cannot conclude that there is a difference between the means.
