Exercise 5.28 introduced data from an analysis investigating whether hatch weights between transgenic and non-transgenic chicks differ. Based on the results from conducting the twogroup test, explain whether the \(95 \%\) confidence interval for the \(\beta_{1}\) parameter in a model predicting hatch weight from a group indicator would contain 0.

Data From Exercise 5.28

5.28 Avian influenza, Part I. In recent years, widespread outbreaks of avian influenza have posed a global threat to both poultry production and human health. One strategy being explored by researchers involves developing chickens that are genetically resistant to infection. In 2011, a team of investigators reported in Science that they had successfully generated transgenic chickens that are resistant to the virus. As a part of assessing whether the genetic modification might be hazardous to the health of the chicks, hatch weights between transgenic chicks and non-transgenic chicks were collected. Does the following data suggest that there is a difference in hatch weights between transgenic and non-transgenic chickens? X S transgenic chicks (g) 45.14 3.32 n 54 non-transgenic chicks (g) 44.99 4.57 54
