+ Automated office blood pressure (AOBP) was reported by the American Heart Association to be_preferred for evaluating office blood pressure (BP) because it is supposedly more accurate than other methods. However, AOBP has been criticized for being too variable to be used for identifying patients with possible hypertension. Therefore the purpose of this study was to compare AOBP with the gold standard for determining BP status, awake ambulatory BP (AmBP). 300 patients were recruited with a mean age of 60 years. Blood pressure data are shown below. Compute the Means, Variances, Standard Deviations, Standard Errors and 95% Confidence interval for these samples. Based on the 95% Cl's, is there evidence that the mean AOBP is different from the mean AmBP are different? Would it be valid to compare the means using the 95% Cls?
