Question:

A study compares the population mean annual incomes for Hispanics (μ1) and for whites (μ2) having jobs in construction, using a 95% confidence interval for μ1 - μ2. Choose the best correct choice.
a. If the confidence interval is (-6000, -3000), then at this confidence level we conclude that the mean income for whites is less than for Hispanics.
b. If the confidence interval is (-3000, 1000), then the test of H0: μ1 = μ2 against Ha: μ1  ≠ μ2 with significance level 0.05 rejects H0.
c. If the confidence interval is (-3000, 1000), then we can conclude that μ1 = μ2.
d. If the confidence interval is (-3000, 1000), then we are 95% confident that the population mean annual income for Hispanics is between 3000 less and 1000 more than the population mean annual income for whites.
