(d) The confidence intervals for the mean diameters of soft-centred and hard-centred M1
chocolates do not overlap.
Therefore the mean diameters for both types are different A1
OR diameters near to 2.71 are likely to be soft-centred, while diameters near to 2.69 are
likely to be hard-centred.
It is useful to determine whether it is hard or soft-centred based on the diameter A1
