Your friend, who took statistics a few years ago, recently read a study which examined whether there is any difference between the average birth weights of babies born to smoking mothers vs. non-smoking mothers. Your friend asked you to remind him what it means when the study says " a 95\% confidence interval for the difference between the average birth weight from non-smoking mothers and smoking mothers (?non???smoke?) is 0.2 to 0.9 pounds." Of the following possible responses to your friend's question, which is true according to the study? The study's authors are 95% confident that babies born to non-smoking mothers are on average 0.2 to 0.9 pounds lighter than babies born to smoking mothers. The study's authors are 95% confident that babies born to non-smoking mothers are on average 0.2 to 0.9 pounds heavier than babies born to smoking mothers. The study data does not provide convincing evidence (at 5% significance level) of a difference between the average birth weight from smoking mothers and non-smoking mothers. The study data does not provide convincing evidence (at 10% significance level) of a difference between the average birth weight from smoking mothers and non-smoking mothers.
