If I was interested in determining if two means differed and my 95% confidence interval ranged from -5.24 to 12.59, what would I conclude?

A 95% confidence interval provides a range of values within which we can be 95% confident that the true difference between the two means lies. Show more…

A 95% confidence interval for the difference between two means is reported as (-2.8, -1.3). What can you conclude about the results of a significance test for the null hypothesis that the population means are equal versus the two-sided alternative?

When calculating a 95% confidence interval for the difference between two means, which of the following is true? When the confidence interval ranges from a positive value to a positive value, we find that there is conclusive evidence (at 95% confidence) that both population means are positive. When the confidence interval ranges from a negative value to a positive value, we find that there is conclusive evidence (at 95% confidence) that there is a difference between the two population means. When the confidence interval ranges from a negative value to a negative value, we find that there is conclusive evidence (at 95% confidence) that both population means are negative. When the confidence interval ranges from a negative value to a positive value, we find that there is not conclusive evidence (at 95% confidence) that there is a difference between the two population means.

In hypothesis testing, if mean1 = 235, 95% CI = 233 to 237 and mean2 = 230, 95% CI = 228 to 232, would you state that these means are statistically significantly different?
