Body Mass Index Refer to Data Set 1 in Appendix B and use the sample data.

a. Construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the mean body mass index for men.

b. Construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the mean body mass index for women.

c. Compare and interpret the results. We know that men have a mean weight that is greater than the mean for women, and the mean height of men is greater than the mean height of women, but do men also have a mean body mass index that is greater than the mean body mass index of women?
