Question:
Two different researchers measured the weight of two separate samples of ruby-throated hummingbirds from the same population. Each calculated a 95% confidence interval for the mean weight of these birds. Researcher 1 found the 95% confidence interval to be 3.12 g<μ<3.48 g,while Researcher 2 found the 95% confidence interval to be 3.05 g<μ<3.62 g
