Right-tailed test

We want to know if the population mean difference $ \mu_1-\mu_2$ is significantly greater than 0 .

confidence interval method: If the upper limit for the confidence interval for the population mean difference $ \mu_1-\mu_2$ (cell F20) is greater than 0 (the population mean difference when the null hypothesis is true), accept the null hypothesis. Otherwise, reject it (the appropriate conclusion appears in cell F24).
