The data below are yields for two different types of corn seed that were used on adjacent plots of land. Assume that the data are simple random samples and that the differences have a distribution that is approximately normal. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the difference between type 1 and type 2 yields. What does the confidence interval suggest about farmer Joe's claim that type 1 seed is better than type 2 seed?

Type 1	2021	2069	2120	2599	2083	1953	2128	1384
Type 2	2023	1967	2079	2483	2121	1937	2145	1402

In this example,
μdis the mean value of the differences d for the population of all pairs of data, where each individual difference d is defined as the type 1 seed yield minus the type 2 seed yield.

_______<><>

(Round to two decimal places as needed.)

What does the confidence interval suggest about farmer Joe's claim that type 1 seed is better than type 2 seed?

A.
Because the confidence interval only

includes positive values and does not include
zero, there
is not
sufficient evidence to support farmer Joe's claim.

B.
Because the confidence interval

includes
zero, there
is
sufficient evidence to support farmer Joe's claim.

C.
Because the confidence interval

includes
zero, there
is not
sufficient evidence to support farmer Joe's claim.

D.
Because the confidence interval

only includes positive values and does not include
zero, there
is
sufficient evidence to support farmer Joe's claim.
