A researcher wants to compare the mean concentration of two medications considered biologically equivalent, i.e., two medications that are able to produce the same therapeutic effect at the same level of concentration in the blood. The group of individuals on medication one (n= 32) had a mean blood concentration of 21.7 micrograms per milliliter with a standard deviation of 8.7 micrograms per milliliter. The group of individuals on medication two (n= 32) had a mean blood concentration of 19.4 micrograms per milliliter with a standard deviation of 5.2 micrograms per milliliter. Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval demonstrating the difference in means for the individuals on medication one when compared to the group of individuals on medication two.
The researchers are 95% confident that the true mean difference in medication concentration levels between individuals on medication one and individuals on medication two is between 4.867 micrograms per milliliter and 9.467 micrograms per milliliter.
The researchers are 95% confident that the true mean difference in medication concentration levels between individuals on medication one and individuals on medication two is between -1.212 micrograms per milliliter and 5.812 micrograms per milliliter.
The researchers are 95% confident that the true mean difference in medication concentration levels between individuals on medication one and individuals on medication two is between 11.747 micrograms per milliliter and 16.347 micrograms per milliliter.
The researchers are 95% confident that the true mean difference in medication concentration levels between individuals on medication one and individuals on medication two is between 3.477 micrograms per milliliter and 8.077 micrograms per milliliter.
