In a comparison of the life expectancies of two models of washing machines, the average years before breakdown in an SRS of 10 machines of one model, which is compared with that of 15 machines of a second model. The 95% confidence interval estimate of the difference is (6,12). Which is the most reasonable conclusion? A. We are 95% confident that the difference in mean life expectancies is between 6 and 12 years B. The mean life expectancy of one model is twice that of the other model C. The probability the life expectancies are different is .95
