Construct a 95​% confidence interval of the mean pulse rate for adult females.

Construct a 95​% confidence interval of the mean pulse rate for adult males.

Compare the results.
 
A.
The confidence intervals​ overlap, so it appears that there is no significant difference in mean pulse rates between adult females and adult males.
 
B.
The confidence intervals do not​ overlap, so it appears that there is no significant difference in mean pulse rates between adult females and adult males.
 
C.
The confidence intervals​ overlap, so it appears that adult males have a significantly higher mean pulse rate than adult females.
 
D.
The confidence intervals do not​ overlap, so it appears that adult females have a significantly higher mean pulse rate than adult males.
