A researcher is studying mirex contamination in farmed salmon. He first found a95% confidence interval for the mean concentration to be 0.0834 to 0.0992 parts per million. An environmental agency sets a limit of 0.08 ppm to be considered safe. What does the confidence interval say about the safety of the farmedsalmon?

Choose the correct answer below.

A.

The95% confidence interval lies entirely above the 0.08 ppmlimit, which is evidence that the mirex concentration is low enough to be considered safe.

B.

The95% confidence interval contains the 0.08 ppmlimit, which is evidence that the mirex concentration is too high to be considered safe.

C.

The95% confidence interval lies entirely above the 0.08 ppmlimit, which is evidence that the mirex concentration is too high to be considered safe.

D.

The95% confidence interval contains the 0.08 ppmlimit, which is evidence that the mirex concentration is low enough to be considered safe.
