The measurements were taken over many different days (30 samples for each lake) and the figure shows the mean turbidity of those measurements along with bars representing 95% confidence intervals. What can we conclude about the appropriate null hypothesis and mean turbidity of the two lakes?
​

• A) Fail to reject the null hypothesis, we lack evidence that the turbidity differs between the lakes.
• B) Reject the null hypothesis, we have evidence that the turbidity differs between the lakes.
• C) Reject the null hypothesis, we lack evidence that the turbidity differs between the lakes.
