For the Tukey 95% multiple comparison confidence intervals comparing each pair of means, the margin of error for each interval is 13.3. Is it true or false that since all the confidence intervals contain 0, it is plausible that all three population means equal 0.
Solution
VerifiedGiven:
We need to determine whether all three population means could be zero when all confidence intervals contain 0.
When a confidence interval contains 0, then the population means are not significantly different.
