Systolic blood pressures (in millimeters of mercury, or mmHg) were measured for each subject before and after petting cats for 10 minutes, with the following results:

A researcher claims that the mean reduction in systolic blood pressure isDoes the98% confidence interval contradict this claim? (Hint: you need to find the98% confidence interval for the mean reduction in systolic blood pressure.)
